At Spartan Fitness MMA in Birmingham, Alabama, belt promotions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) are more than just a milestone. They are a celebration of hard work, consistency, and community.
This past weekend, we hosted a special belt promotion ceremony for both our adult BJJ athletes and our youth students in the Growing Gorillas program. From green belts to brown belts, the mats were full of energy and well-earned promotions.
💪Adult BJJ Belt Promotions
Our adult BJJ tribe showed up in full force for an Ironman-style promotion, an SBG tradition where every newly promoted athlete rolls with the entire class. We proudly recognized:
- 4 new brown belts
- 7 new purple belts
- 6 new blue belts
- 1 new green belt
Each belt represents years of dedication to training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a challenging, supportive environment. These promotions reflect the grit, discipline, and resilience it takes to grow on and off the mats.
🦍Youth BJJ Promotions: Growing Gorillas
We also celebrated the success of our Growing Gorillas, our youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program focused on building confidence, discipline, and character in kids through martial arts. Watching our young athletes earn new belts and support one another was a powerful reminder that BJJ is all about community, growth, and respect.
A Big Thank You to Our Tribe
Thank you to everyone who came out to roll and support your teammates. The strength of our team is in the way we show up for each other.
