Team RONIN ATHLETICS got some new color today!

Huge congrats to David Lu, James Han, and Chris Dolan on their promotions to BLUE belt and to Carlo Chan on his promotion to PURPLE belt!

Their new ranks were awarded on Sunday afternoon by our good friend and one of our black belt mentors, multiple-time Pan American BJJ Champ, Dave Ginsberg.

More info and pics coming soon!

Congrats to everyone!

Huge congratulations to our latest blue belt, Vinh Hua!

Vinh has been training with RONIN ATHLETICS for under two years and was recently promoted to blue belt by our good friend and one of our BJJ Black Belt mentors, Dave Ginsberg (who Vinh also trains with in his hometown of Boston, Mass).

Congrats, Vinh!!!

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 :)

At the end of Danny Suarez’s great MMA seminar, he surprised three Ronin Athletics students with their blue belts. Congratulations to Adam Blake, Zack Koonce and Derek Hill for their well-deserved honors.

Congratulations to Erik on a well-deserved and overdue promotion to Blue Belt. Erik has received his Blue from his NYU BJJ coach Mike and Dave Ginsberg of BTT Boston (with my enthusiastic approval) . Be sure to give Erik a big congatulations as I hear he will be wearing his Gi and belt everywhere he goes now ;-) !
