Congrats to 19 new Tai Kai Blue Belts. They had their test/ceremony on Thursday June 17th at 6:45 PM. They all did awesome. They had to demonstrate specific techniques including: Self Defense, Takedowns, Submissions, Escapes, Guard Passes, Sweeps, and certain positions for about an hour. Then they grappled straight for 30 minutes with no rest time at all with fresh partners every minute. At the end they did a 5 minute round of Line Drills. Everyone Looked Great. We even had a mother/son and husband/wife get their Blue Belts together.
