New SBGi brown belt & Berkeley update!

Big congrats to Lily and Alan Pagle. I awarded Lily her brown belt this last Monday night, and Alan received a well deserved purple.

I have only given a few brown belts out, Luis, John K, Karl, Jonathan and Rick, so it's something I take very seriously. Lily is a shining example of why SBGi is all about, and I was proud to be able to add her to this short list.

Alan's game has also taken some great leaps, and I was also proud to be able to award him his hard earned purple.

We also did a blue belt promotion, and I found myself giving out 9 blue belts! These were not just average blue belts, but rather very good blue belts. And the solid games these white belts brought the evaluation is testament to Alan, Lily and Jude's Coaching skill.

Also, we (SBGi Coaching Staff) have decided that it's well past time to move the Berkeley Gym from an ATG to Full SBGi Gym status. They have been a full time school now for well over Six Years, and have met and exceeded every requirement we have asked. This means that they have the right to use the SBGi name as they see fit, as we feel they represent the best of what SBGi is all about.

Congrats to the entire Berkeley crew.

One vibe one tribe.
