May Was A Good Month

As I mentioned in a previous post, I competed in (and won) my very first grappling tournament.
And while that was certainly a big deal to me, there was something else pretty big that happened in May That I forgot to post about.

I got my purple belt. Or I guess more specifically, my purple shirt, since Athens Fitness and Mixed Martial Arts is technically a no-gi school (for the moment). I've been training consistently for a little over four years now under Adam and Rory Singer, both of whom are black belts under Roberto Traven. I've still got a TON of work to do do, but it's a big step closer to my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
