We’ve been quiet on social media but in the gym it has continued to be an exciting last few months!
We must now catch up and congratulate our recent promotions as we are incredibly proud of them!

Brian Pidgursky - achieves his BROWN BELT! Brian is our LONGEST RUNNING STUDENT, and has been training with Professor Scott his entire life. His head got shaved by his teammates after- you’ll have to ask!

Jake Weathers- one of our top competitors and all around “he has that dog in him” lunatic achieves his purple belt after an incredible MMA and Bjj season. Thanks for being the energy, courage and sense of humor to every hard session.

Brandon O'Der - Takes full blue belt test again— because in a near final gauntlet match injured his knee last time 😞 . Brandon REFUSED to accept the belt, event though he CLEARLY deserved it, did months of rehab and worked his way back to full speed and we did the whole thing from the beginning. That’s a true Saga Blue Belt for you!!

There have been multiple other stripes and wins that were not documented, but know your coaches and friends see you. Keep it up team!

Who trains at Saga Combat?
Meet Stacey Bradley!

Stacey is an Electrical Engineer by trade and trained as a high level amateur in his 20s but like so many Dads had to take a long break to pursue career and raise his family.

Now- in his 50s, Stacey is in the gym 2-4 days a week, lost 26lbs, and though he has earned his blue belt- everyone knows he loves to box and kickbox above all! He’s competed multiple times for Saga and hopes to do more IBJJF this year!

For people on the fence Stacey tells us: “the gym is an encouraging family, everyone wants to see your success and the camaraderie is incredible “
