Not a lot of people know this but SantaKirk doesn’t just have two lists. He has three. One is the “Naughty list,” one is the “Good list” and the THIRD is the “Earned It” list. And these two boys eneded up so high on the “Earned It” list SantaKirk had to come EARLY this year. SUPER .. DUPER … Carol of the Bells -> CONGRATULATIONS to RANDALL ( The Ice Truck Killer ) ICE and DAVE ( King of the MuthaTruckin ) HILL for getting that WELL EARNED level up this Saturday. Saturday these two added themselves to the list of the Few the Proud … who earn color belts in a sport that is not for the casuals. Dave with that TRUE BLUE you made it through -> BLUE BELT. And Randall adding himself to the ELITE BJJ class -> PURPLE BELT. WELL DONE GUYS.
Wee at Arnold salute you BOTH and wish to dedicate TWO classic Christmas Jiu Jitsu songs to you both.
All I want for Christmas is BLUE.
and
I want an Arnold-Purplr-Belt for Christmas. Only Arnold-Purplr-Belt will do!
UPDATE: Apparently Justin Novo ALSO got leveled up. So …
SUPER CONGRATS to Justin ( News Flash ) Novo for his upgrade to the ELITE BJJ class -> PURPLE BELT.
Big thanks to Randall for taking the pics. And CLICK HERE to Check out THESE -> NEW RANK PICS!
The Great Purple Summit! At last Beau’s belt turned the same color as his training partners faces. A WELL DESERVED promotion that has now come to fruition. Beau joins the ranks of the very few that make it this far in the grinding sport of BJJ.
SUPER CONGRATS TO HIM!!!
What a Valentine’s Day Gift. They say the purple belt is the absolute HARDEST to get in BJJ. Its the moment you leave the casual BJJ practitioner and join the elite few who actually make it to PURPLE BELT. Its a TRULY monumental occasion and in true Kirk Huff fashion he snuck up and surprised Gage with the MASSIVE level up. SUPER SUPER CONGATS to Gage for having the grit and consistency that it takes to get there. Maybe it DOES make sense to present it on Valentine’s Day considering how much heart you have to have to get there.
AGAIN … SUPER CONGATS GAGE!
Dreams DO come blue and this white Christmas traded UP! SUPER SUPER congrats to the newest Arnold BJJ Blue Belts. Santa Kirk had you 4 on the DESERVE list. For you 4 its been a long time coming and you all worked HARD for it, showed up at the right spot AND in a fantastic show of physical and mental metal, endured the grueling final test of a Vaghi Blue; solidifying your place amongst the honored Vaghi Blue Sentinels.
So wear your blue PROUDLY. YOU 4 EARNED IT!!!
Also congrats to all the others on team Vaghi that leveled up. Did you see that room. Teaming FULL of exhausted choke piranhas ALL leveling up!
ALSO … check out the number of BLUES on our member page. Jumping up from first floor white to second floor true blue. -> ARNOLD BJJ MEMBERS
Monumental Congrats to Sara Schulte for making it to the Blue Summit. All that hard work has finally paid off and you deserve it. Big congrats to you as you hang up the tattered worn white-belt for deep navy blue.
Big congrats to the Ice Man for getting his first stripe on his blue belt. Apparently he did so well against somebody that Captain Kirk leveled him up. Impressing Kirk is like like Pimpin … It Aint Eazy … so … big congrats to him.
SUPER CONGRATS to Dave Hillis, Liam Studdard and Myles Moser for their WELL EARNED 2 stripe promotions today. All three did so well their competitions and have been training so consistently to boot that they sprung, not ONE but TWO rungs up the BJJ ladder. BIG CONGRATS to them.
