CrossFit WOD: Rest Day!

Jeff Boss

I first met Jeff 10 years ago at Roy Harris’ Academy in Miramar. We trained together for over a year but we lost touch over time. Jeff ended up going back to school and is now at SDSU working on his teaching credential . He also started a family while he was on hiatus from BJJ and has one daughter and another on the way! Last night was the first time Jeff has rolled in over 4 years but we look forward to seeing a lot more of him from now on…

Jeremy Ferebee, Purple Belt

Tonight I promoted my first purple belt! Jeremy had a TOUGH 2.5 hour test and about 25 people showed up to “help” out. I think the purple belt is probably the toughest to earn and it really separates the men from the boys. Jeremy started training with me in “The Garage” about 4 years ago. He is VERY technical grappler and also has excellent teaching skills. Jeremy’s level really jumped over the last few months and I am really proud to have him as my first purple belt! Congratulations Jeremy!
