EXCEL End of year/Promotion Party

 EXCEL had their end of the year/Promotion party last Sunday, Dec 9.  It was a blast!  We had a one hour open mat from 2-3, Promotions from 3-4, then Upper Crust Pizza from 4:30- 8:30!

Great Spirited, hard working, and super friendly group of people!

 Team atmosphere is what really brings everything to the top!

Andy Atkinson gets promoted to the Brown Belt!

 Promotions are a symbol of the hard work, effort and dedication put in.  Our team had about 25 people receive Stripe and Belt promotions this week!  Promotions are earned throughout the year but it was cool to see so many in one week.
