Capital Jiu-Jitsu now home to 10 purple belts!
August 04, 2007
Royce Gracie visited CJJ's Alexandria headquarters on August 2nd to teach three awesome seminars: two for adults, one for kids. Royce's down-to-earth personality and relaxed teaching style isn't what you'd expect from a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, especially a UFC legend. While here, Royce promoted several blue belts and 6 NEW PURPLE BELTS, making CJJ home to 10 PURPLE BELTS. Congratulations to everyone who received promotions (see the full list below).
Royce was also kind enough to let us make a video of a few techniques:
