Congratulations to all the Agoge who got their new belts this week

Belts

Andy – Purple Belt

Andy Purple Belt Test

Andy successfully went for his purple belt on Monday night. Andy’s natural ability alongside his training ethic makes him not only a fantastic submission wrestler in his age group, but one who has consistently impressed (and even scared) the senior competitors

Danny – Purple Belt

Danny tests for his Purple Belt

Danny is definitely one of Spartan MMA’s best athletes. After moving up from the Monkeys, Danny went from being the big fish in a small pond to being one of the smallest in the club. This didn’t deter him, however, as he throws himself 100% into every training session, always has a smile, listens patiently and is become quite the technical submission wrestler. (Danny even finds Colm’s jokes funny, now that’s saying something!)

Graeme – Blue Belt

Graeme tests for his Blue Belt

While Graeme has a natural size advantage over his peers in the club, that shouldn’t take away from his technical ability, and his strong work rate in the club. You could actually see Graeme work out solutions to his problems during his grading test, and improving as a result.

Nikita – Red Belt

Nikita tests for his brown belt

Nikita went for his red belt on Wednesday, and his first match he picked up an injury. Not to be deterred, he continued doggedly in the rest of his match ups. Never tiring, and always giving it 110% on the mats, Nikita deserves to hold his red belt.
