By Tim on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 - 06:31 pm: Edit PostI 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!

By Jake Burroughs on Thursday, July 28, 2011 - 11:25 am: Edit PostThank 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
