This past Saturday 11/9 some key Upstream members leveled up. Head instructor Seph Smith promoted Andron Wright and David Story to black belt and Brad Ackerman to brown belt. All three are integral members of the team and have given their time as instructors and coaches. This was the first promotion of this kind at Upstream. Four years ago we opened our doors with only a few students. It is amazing and gratifying to see how much the gym has grown and how much the team has progressed. Belt promotions do not come easy at Upstream, but everyone who gets promoted knows they worked hard and deserved it.
We are so proud and thankful for these three excellent examples of martial artists!
