🥋 WHITE-YELLOW BELT PROMOTION ⚪️🟡🥋
If there was ever an example of what the Gracie Bullyproof® program can do for a child, Adan would be it.
Adan started with us in the summer of 2025 as one of the shyest kids in class. At first, he only wanted to train with a friend from school. If his friend wasn’t there, Adan didn’t want to train and would sometimes leave the mat.
The original plan was simple: train for the summer, then stop once school started.
But Adan kept showing up.
Little by little, things began to change. He became more comfortable on the mat, started working with different partners, and eventually earned his gray belt.
Fast forward to today, and the confidence we see in Adan has exceeded anything we could have expected. His attention to detail has grown tremendously. He can work confidently with different training partners, and he has even earned his place in Black Belt Club, where he participates in advanced training and sparring.
And now, we get to celebrate another milestone:
Adan earned his White-Yellow Belt! 🟡⚪️
The belt is an accomplishment, but the young man wearing it is what makes us proud.
Watching Adan go from a child who didn’t want to stay on the mat, to the confident student standing here today is exactly why we believe so strongly in what we do.
Adan, we are incredibly proud of what you’ve accomplished, and we’re excited to watch you continue growing into an amazing Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® practitioner.
Keep showing up. Keep growing. This is only the beginning. 👊🥋
