Congratulations goes out to Daniel "The Iron Dragon" Chism for being ranked during Tuesday's class as the only Red Belt currenlty in the BDJJ Cirriculum. I asked Daniel to participate in Tuesdays class for the promotion and he obliged. Daniel is in his fourth year of training under BDJJ. Daniel has taken private lessons for the first couple of years then moved into the Saturday 6am class. Daniel has been a Brown III for one year and has proven he knows the material and has studied hard.
This next year he will be preparing for his Black Belt Test. He knows most of the Black Belt Cirriculum and is preparing his test material. 25 techniques, complete with take downs, transitions and variations, so it's really more than 25. Plus he will stand and Fight 3-5 advanced belts, roll with 3-5 advanced belts. That is the test. Daniel will be the first Black Belt I ever promote in the BDJJ Style and the first ever in over 25 years of teaching. I am proud to be his instructor and his friend.
Peace, Let's keep Rollin'..........
