Big Congratulations to Andy and Graeme for getting their new belts last Wednesday.
Graeme tested for his Purple belt. Graeme’s shown great skill and proficiency with the stand up since we’ve started doing more of it, and despite being a powerhouse of the club (Bill calls him a young Josh Barnett), Graeme’s technical to boot too, and is always seeking out new submissions and cool new moves. Graeme has a quiet confidence about him too, which is great to see.
Andy is the Irish Anderson Silva in my eyes. Very few athletes anywhere can see a submission once and then instanty catch everyone in the class with it. He legitimately submitted myself and Bill during his grading, and if it wasn’t for our humugous strength difference I’d have headed off into the land of nod. Upsettingly, Bill didn’t know how to zoom out and all this was missed on film! Sorry Buddy!
Overall myself and Bill were so impressed with you guys that we were still talking about it the next day.
Well done guys, you truly are club champions!
