Royce “Shoyoroll” Kerbow Promoted to Blue Belt
Posted on January 5th, 2010 1 commentIt was back-to-back promotion days at Crazy 88 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as Royce “Shoyoroll” Kerbow received his Blue Belt. Royce (pronounced as in Rolls Royce and not the first Ultimate Fighting Champion) has been training regularly since he started over a year ago. Because of his job, he trains when he can – sometimes at 7 AM, sometimes at 11:30 AM, sometimes at the 7 PM and other times at 10:30 PM but he stays consistent and has been steadily improving his skills.
It was a long and tough test with over 25 students in the White Belt class, each wrestling Royce for a minute but he made it through. Near the end of the test, Royce hurt his knee but he insisted on continuing the test and when it was all over, the Crazy 88 students all clapped and congratulated the newest member of the Blue Belt squad.
All our videos will be compiled on our youtube channel page.

Mikhail Onischenko Promoted to Blue Belt
Posted on January 4th, 2010 No commentsCongratulations 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!
