(James, Dan and Rich - the guys and there new belts) 
(the crew at CJJA Geelong after the grading)
Tonight was a great night at the CJJA Geelong I was happy to grade two very close mate up to purple both guys have been long time mates and training partners of mine and both have a great out look on Jiu Jitsu and life. HUGE well done to you both and thanx for making our team better every time you step on the mats. CJJA growing and evolving always!
CJJA - Grading brake down Tonight the guys that graded had to train nonstop for 1.5 hours at the start of the time they get 100 points to there name. every time the guys tap they lose 5 points if they drop lower then 50 points then they have to do there grading again. after the 1.5 hour roll we grade the guys up we give the belt then line all the students up in two lines and whip them with our belts as a sign of respect. after we line up again and shake hands with one another to unit the CJJA family. in CJJA gradings we all go throught it together as we are a jiu jitsu family and stand as one. The gradings evolve around timed rounds of super hard training as our academy is all about training hard so our gradings are the same.
James grading to Purple
Rich grading to Purple
The boys being belt whipped as a sign of respect
