Crispim BJJ Barra Brothers in Pleasanton celebrated our Belt Promotion for Kids and Adults on Saturday, January 7th.
Thank you to all of the students and their families who came to the academy to watch those who were awarded their belts and their stripes. This demonstrates the phenomenal level of support our team gives to each other. Alexander Crispim says, “I could not be more proud of our entire team for supporting each other and for working as hard as each of you do every day inside and outside of the academy. We are truly blessed to have such a great group of people together and such a strong team and extended family.”
Many people believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an individual “sport,” but our philosophy is that if the team is strong, then the individuals will reap the rewards. And this is what we foster at the academy. We have a team full of people who work with, take care of and support each other and this in turn, makes EVERYONE better. And because you all bring so much to Crispim BJJ, we see the results in the academy, in tournaments, in MMA fights and in our everyday lives. Thank you to the team and their families for the incredible support you have given the academy and each other. We appreciate all of you and we thank you for choosing to train with us and for being a part of our team and family.
We have included some great pictures (see below) of some of the kids getting their new belts and stripes. And finally, we would also like to personally congratulate those adult team members on their new belts:
