Iceland, Sweden & new promotions!

Matt recently completed a seminar tour which included a few weeks in Iceland (along with the help of SBGi head Coach Karl Tanswell), and a visit to the Stockholm Sweden SBGi Gym. This was followed by a seminar weekend in Mass at SBGi RD Steven Whittier's Gym.

It was also a big Month for promotions. . .Congrats to all the athletes at the Mjolnir gym in Iceland who were promoted during Matt's recent seminar there:

Gunnar Ludvik Nelson (also coming off an impressive MMA cage debut in Denmark), two-stripe purple belt. Along with Denmark's Thomas LaCour, Gunni represents the best of our Scandinavian athletes.
