New blue and purple belt at Upstream BJJ

Yesterday 12/20, Upstream BJJ head coach Seph Smith had the pleasure of moving two students up in rank - Jacob to blue belt and Phil to purple belt. Both of these students have been strong forces on the local competition scene as well in IBJJF tournaments. We are so proud of their hard work and they have definitely earned these new belts!
