Erik Ryerson promoted to Purple Belt!

By Christian | On 2007.05.13 @ 7:26 pm | In News, Promotions |

Congratulations to Ronin Athletics’s own, Erik Ryerson, on his recent promotion to Purple Belt by BJJ Black Belt Dave Ginsberg.

Erik has been training with us for nearly 4 years and is our resident Gi specialist. He has also been training with Mr. Ginsberg through the NYU BJJ club, formerly run and founded by Mike Harmon, himself also a Purple belt under Dave Ginsberg. Make sure you congratulate him by giving him an extra tough roll next time you see him on the mats :)
