The final step before becoming a Carlson Gracie Purple Belt

[Jogs D]

sweet!

Does any other team do this for gradings? My team does but I thought we were the only ones. Nice to see it happening to someone else haha!

Congratulations guys!

Lol - I remember a while back when Danny Batten got his Brown Belt from Ze. A couple of other guys who got their Blues just got hip-tossed. When it was Danny's turn Ze picked him up and slammed him into the mat! Ohhhh - Happy Days!!!

Anyways - I digress - many congratulations guys!

I'd hate to see what black belts get

To be honest I thought everyone just did the whipping.

Delroy,the throwing is a Carlson lineage thing.

We'd normally do kicks in the mid section for thai on ppls birthdays, they'd get a couple of goes per student, fun unless its a young small student who goes straight for your nuts.
The belt grading thing seems rough, but luckly it seems to be a while between promotions lol

Pedro does it too, once you've been awarded the belt all the senior grades present get to throw you (then there's the whipping!) Mark Tucker has a particularly painful Seio Nage he likes to pull out.

IIRC promotions to black belt dont get whipped or thrown.
