Better late than never! 🥋⏳
Between building a championship wrestling program, expanding the gym, and managing the day-to-day grind, life has been absolutely wide open. Because things have been so incredibly busy around here, we are officially playing catch-up on a massive backlog of well-deserved promotions dating all the way back to April!
The "never-ending work" hasn't stopped, and our students certainly haven't slowed down. It's time to finally give credit where it's due to the massive group of warriors who have leveled up at 144 BJJ over the last few months!
🌟 New Belts on the Mat!
We’ve had some incredible milestones hit since the spring. Earning a new belt takes months of consistency, overcoming plateaus, and showing up even when you don't feel like it. A massive congratulations to all of our students who stepped up into their brand-new ranks! Your growth, technique, and leadership on the mats inspire the whole team.
⚪️ A Mountain of Stripes!
We also had a absolute ton of adults and kids earn new stripes on their belts! Every single piece of tape represents hours of sweat, discipline, and hard work right here in Dinwiddie. Whether it was your very first stripe or the fourth one putting you on notice for your next belt, we see your dedication and we are incredibly proud of you.
To the entire 144 BJJ family: Thank you for your patience with this overdue shout-out, and thank you for making our mats such an amazing community to be a part of.
Let's keep this 2026 momentum rolling heavy into the summer! Who is locking in their next goal tonight? 💪🔥
