July 10th, the team here at Gracie Barra Kissimmee came to support the head professor Igor Andrade as he was promoted to his 5th degree!

We recognize every promotion as a tremendous accomplishment, but 5th degree for a black belt shows a level of commitment and dedication that we should all gain inspiration from.

Igor was promoted by professor Marcio Simas.

To celebrate the momentous occasion, Coral belt Marcio Simas led a high level seminar for the members at Gracie Barra Kissimmee.

The promotion was one to remember and there is sure to be many more as members continue to climb through the ranks. There is never an end to the capacity of knowledge you can gain. There is always something new to learn and something old to improve. Stay committed and become a master of the martial art just like Igor!
