Mikhail Onischenko Promoted to Blue Belt

Congratulations to Mikhail Onischenko, our newest BJJ Blue Belt here at Crazy 88. Mikhail is one of the first group of students that started training when we were located in the half-basketball court at the Body Factory, trying not to crash through the glass windows. Back then, only four pairs of students could roll on the ground at a time and only two pairs could practice takedowns. And we only had classes three times per week!

Mikhail is one of our most dedicated students – he never misses a 7 AM class and usually drives to Reston, VA right after training for his job.   Good work Mikhail!

PS – Just got off the phone with Mike Easton. Everything looks good for a Mixed Martial Arts Seminar on Saturday, January 23. Mike is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and one of the USA’s top 145 lb MMA fighters.  He is a very well-rounded fighter with heavy striking abilities and he has also won Pan-American and World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu medals.  Do not miss this seminar!
