Lead Instructor Elliott Recieves His Brown Belt

Big congratulations to OpenMat BJJ's Head Instructor Elliott on receiving his Brown Belt from Shawn Williams! Elliott spent nearly two weeks training and studying with Shawn at Hollywood Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, working on his own game as well as learning Shawn's Intermediate Curriculum. This past Monday night, Elliott's last night at the academy, Shawn offered a warm goodbye in front of the class and surprised Elliott with the promotion. A 2nd Degree Renzo Gracie Black Belt, Shawn is recognized as one of the best instructors in North America and it's truly an honour to receive such a powerful endorsement from him.
