Congrats new SBGi purple belts!

Big congrats to new SBGi purple belt Lily Pagle!



I just returned last weekend from a great visit to our Berkeley CA Gym. And I am privilaged to announce that I awarded Lily Pagle a well deserved purple belt on Saturday. Lily's BJJ is on fire, and she is a living testamnet to what SBGi is all about. Congrats Lily! : )

Robert (T3) gets his purple!

Congratulations to Robert (T3) Freliech for his recent promotion to purple belt. At 17, Robert has taken NAGA National Champ titles throughout his teens, won his divisions at GQ and Abu Dhabi tournies, and even taken Judo state champ title along the way. A royal pain to any adults competing at his weight class, he is now the first of our PAW generation of kids to get his purple.

Most importantly for us at One Dragon/ So Flo, he is quickly becoming our finest coach and will soon be running most of all PAW sessions and a large part of our gym.

Congrats T and special thanks to Jonathan for helping me keep him down for the belt ;)
