We have a NEW BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU BLACK BELT in town!!
Last night, Coach Jed was awarded his Black Belt, a moment that represents so much more than the colour around his waist.
A black belt isn’t just simply earned through years on the mats. It’s earned through dedication, consistency, humility, sacrifice, resilience and a willingness to keep learning, even when the journey gets difficult.
To become a true martial artist, you have to embrace the whole journey. The wins and the losses. The good days and the hard days. You learn to overcome adversity, to respect your training partners, to help those around you and to constantly strive to become better, both on and off the mats.
And that is exactly what Coach Jed represents.
He doesn’t just wear a black belt, he represents what a black belt should be.
A coach who gives his knowledge freely.
A teammate who lifts others up.
A martial artist who leads by example.
A person who understands that the belt is not the destination, but another chapter in the journey.
The black belt carries responsibility. It represents the knowledge you’ve gained, but more importantly, the responsibility to pass that knowledge on and help build the next generation.
Coach Jed, you have more than earned this.
We are incredibly proud to call you one of our own, and we cannot wait to see the impact you continue to have on the mats and on everyone fortunate enough to learn from you.
Congratulations Coach Jed, welcome to the black belt ranks. 🖤🥋
From everyone at Team SBG, OSS! 👊🏼
