Groinstrike Earns 1st Dan!


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, since he's not going to say anything himself, I'll brag on him a bit.

Our very own Groinstrike earned his black belt this weekend! He endured a fairly marathon test covering major ranges of combat, technical and free form aspect as well as the Bujin mandatory hour long sparring for 1st Dan that ranged from stand up work to fighting on the ground.

Well done, GS! Great work. For a bit a sharing, I'll give up one of the highlights that I happened to catch:

It's a really good stick redirection to striking that gets countered and GS pulls an inspired counter to the counter. Totally spontaneous and well executed and probably the best single movement during the test, IMO.

Again, nice work and congrats!
