NAAFS "Rock N Rumble 8" Official Results

On Saturday August 27th three GR warriors competed in Cleveland, Ohio at the NAAFS annual Rock N Rumble event. Reggie Parks & John Burbol both fought amateur while George Comer made his Pro debut. It ended up being a tough night for our team as all three of our guys ended up losing by decision this time around. On the flip side all three guys still have winning records and gained some good experience as each faced top level competition in there weight class.

We will lick our wounds and plan a come back as we always do if we lose. Thanks for all the support from those who helped these guys in training and or showed up to there fights to show your support. See everyone back in the gym.

Tim Hall "Blue Belt Promotion"

Following tonights Monday night BJJ class GR Black Belt Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Jeff Starr proudly promoted student Tim Hall to the rank of Blue Belt. Tim has showed the skill, attitude, and has been attending classes on a regular basis. Make sure the next time you see Tim you congradulate him on his accomplishment. If anyone else is looking to obtain rank make sure you attend classes somewhat consistantly and make sure you stick around to free after most classes when you can. Getting ranked requires you to be training and rolling in a gi during classes. Jeff looks at your skill but also your attendance. Obviously the more time you put on the mat the better you will most likely get.
