We held our Summer 2024 BJJ belt promotions on Saturday, July 13th. In addition to celebrating a number of new blue, purple, and brown belts, we were absolutely thrilled to announce the achievement of 4 new black belts at The Cellar Gym and Checkmat Twin Cities: Gao Vang, Ryan Dickey, Nate Maus, and Robbie Eisenrich!

These four remarkable individuals have not only dedicated themselves on and off the mats but have embodied the essence of a black belt. Their perseverance, loyalty, coaching, and teamwork have played a pivotal role in shaping our team and will undoubtedly further strengthen it in the future.

We thank all of our BJJ students and friends for showing up to support our team at belt promotions. Congratulations to everyone on the new belts and stripes!
