Black belt Current belt
June 30, 2024Tracks BJJ MN
Promoted byMark MortensenDedicating myself to Jiu-Jitsu, even taking on the responsibility of owning and running my own school as a brown belt. The road was anything but easy, but every challenge, setback, and long day helped shape the person and martial artist I became. Earning my black belt wasn’t just another promotion; it was the culmination of years of hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice, and it’s something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

White belt

I would train for a while then stop and then get back into it. So it’s difficult to put the exact date but I wasn’t consistent at all when I was a white belt.

"I trained with Kody when I would visit New York, helped him create a Yoga/Stretching program for his old gym there when he was a brown belt (his skills were black belt level then), and kept in touch for all these years and I've watched his promotions via social media. He is a solid coach, and he and Joe run a great gym called Forged now, if you're ever in upstate New York! Super solid black belt 100%"
