Time flies!
So many major events have occurred in 2018 it is hard to believe we are half way through the year already. As always the Garra BJJ family continues to grow and improve both on and off the mats. It is truly wonderful to see.
Mid-year grading was again a fantastic event with students from each of our 4 locations coming together to train and be one as a team. We again had our friends from BBQ Meat Lovers provide amazing catering which is always a treat but of course we cannot forget the reason behind grading day which is to award the hard work and dedication of students with new belts and stripes.
This grading was particular momentous with Prof. Eduardo Dias (Garra BJJ Founder and Head Coach) being awarded his 4th Degree via a heart felt video presentation from his instructors Prof Vinicos Campelo (6th Degree Black Belt), Prof. Roberto Traven (6th Degree Black Belt) & Prof. Octavio Couto (5th Degree Black Belt) and Roger Gracie (4th Degree Black Belt). A huge congratulation to Prof. Eduardo Dias on 14 years of continuous dedication to training and teaching the art of Jiu Jitsu!
Garra BJJ would also like to make special mention to its newest Black Belts Tie Passos & Anton Minenko. Both dedicated students, instructors, competitors and all around amazing human beings who has been training Jiu Jitsu for over 10 years and are the 8th & 9th Garra Jiu Jitsu Black Belts under Prof. Eduardo Dias.
Among these momentous occurrences we do not forget the achievements of all the other students who were promoted with the names and belts awarded listed below.
