Congrats to our newest crop of blue belts…Kevin, Dave, Troy, Becky, Marty, Neil, and Alex!

MAMA is helping out some of our Lincoln friends doing the Body by Vi 90 day BJJ Challenge…sound crazy?  Well maybe, but if anyone can pull it off it’s MAMA!

Eddie & Bryan

Big Congratulations to Ed Shobe on his promotion to black belt!! Eddie is first home grown legitimate BJJ black belt in the state of Nebraska…an accomplishment some 14 years in the making!

Also, congrats to Anthony Carlson’s graduation to a long overdue brown belt, Matt Lippold’s 3-stripe purple belt and Jesse Thomson’s bump to purple belt.

Big thanks to Rodrigo Vaghi and Bryan Guidry making the trip up from St. Louis for the promotions and the grand opening of our Lincoln school.

MAMA’s Andy Johnson received burns during his call to duty while saving a little girl. Please keep him in your thoughts as he recovers from his injuries. Bravo Andy and Thank You for your service!!
