After a very long and arduous test, our very own Jordan Wiggins (Orland Park) earned his Purple Belt! Heres the breakdown of the test. -Warm up round: Single Direct Attacks on pads -Attack by combinations, Jordan went the extra mile by throwing feints into his combinations towards the end of the round. -Countering on Pads -(2) Thai pad rounds for power - 50 consecutive kicks each leg nonstop in sets of 10 each side no break Next we went into the technical portion of grappling. This part was pretty extensive. We covered every position and I asked that he show me a minimum of 3 things for every position we hit. Example guard position: Jordan had to show me three submission from the guard minimum. Next he had to chain two submissions together. Then three. Then i wanted to see how many sweeps he knew from guard, then submission defense, guard breaks and guard passing. Considering we hit every position this was pretty extensive. Next grappling 20 minutes straight, no break , fresh guy each minute. To cap the test off, I wanted to test his heart a little bit (despite having just finished grappling!) Jordan did 200 Mike Tysons in a row. All in all it was a pretty tough purple belt test and Jordan did awesome, Be sure to congratulate him!!! -Sensei Rhett
