Big congrats to Lily and Alan Pagle. I awarded Lily her brown belt this last Monday night, and Alan received a well deserved purple.
I have only given a few brown belts out, Luis Gutierrez (now black), John Kavanagh (now black), Karl Tanswell, Jonathan Wright and Rick Davison, so it's something I take very seriously. Lily is a shining example of what SBGi is all about, and I was proud to be able to add her to this short list.
Congrats, the ladies at that level is a short list for sure.
Lily rocks, but I don't dig the pink Gi. :)
Congrats to both her and Alan!

Mr. Thornton,
I love your blogs and aspire to be the coach you speak of and leader for my students.
Keep up the good work.

I can't say enough great things about Lily, or her jiu-jitsu. She rocks!
Thanks Tim, I appreciate that.
