Christie Philips = Purple Belt! Mar 23, 2010

CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTIE PHILIPS!!! She's been training with Team Magnitude for over 7 years! Got her Blue Belt on Mar 2, 2006 and now she gets the Purple Belt! She is primarily a No-Gi Specialist but has been putting the extra effort into her training by putting the "Pajamas" on to enhance her Jiu Jitsu! And it has paid off, Big Time!Christie is a very tough, tough girl. She is smart, personable, and Fitness oriented. She is dedicated to her training. One of her major gripes in life, is that there is not enough time in a day to do everything she wants to do! When she comes to class, she rolls with everyone! She is one Tough Cookie!

Congratulations, once again, to a very deserving Christie Philips!

Also tonight, we got lots of sparring in! some of the matches were brutal!

Matt & Daryl got some good work in!




Charlie and Ray "The Ray Gun"Good job guys!
