🥋 Promotion Alert: Alan’s 3rd Stripe

​It is a true pleasure to promote my good friend Alan to his third stripe in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tonight under the Snake Pit USA banner! 🐍💪
​Alan, your dedication to the craft is showing every time you step out there. Keep up the hard work—I look forward to seeing you stay consistent on the mats, and I truly look forward to the day I have the honor of handing you your Blue Belt.

​Well deserved, brother!

Huge congratulations to Hunter and Zachariah on earning their second stripes on their gray belts tonight! 🥋💥

​Watching these two put in the work on the mats under the Snake Pit USA banner is incredible. It takes a lot of discipline, sweat, and "catch wrestling" grit to keep leveling up. The journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a marathon, not a sprint, and these two are crushing it.
​Keep grinding, boys! The whole team is proud of you. 🐍🔥
