I want to congratulate my friend and student Jake Burroughs on earning his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
The Purple belt separates the casual practitioner from the serious student/competitor, and marks the beginning of becoming an advanced grappler.
Well done Jake!

Thank you Tim. In no short part is this a reflection on the lessons I have taken away from your 9 years (yes, that long!) of tutelage both on the mat and off.
I am not sure I am ready to roll at purple level, but I look forward to embracing the challenge and meeting the next level of competitor on the mat!
Cheers
Jake
