There is still room left for the bus trip this weekend… A bus will take you to and from the fights and you can relax, eat, drink, etc on the bus. There will be 50/50 drawing and a lot of fun things to do. Thus far, we have over 50 people committed to going and it’s almost sold out. Get your tickets from us ASAP!!! Wes Hanson is selling tickets and receives a commission for doing this, so please buy them from us.

Congratulations on a this high achievement! Butch has been a longtime fixture in WV BJJ and MMA and has most certainly put in the requisite time and sweat, and the product speaks for itself. Butch has served as a leader in the BJJ community for many years now, and I have no reason to believe he will not continue to be the consummate coach and instructor for years to come. WV BJJ community is a richer community for having Butch and I feel honored to call him my friend. While the black belt, or any other belt for that matter, is a nice landmark, it is in and of itself not a destination, but a landmark on the journey. May your journey continue. Congratulations, Butch, on this highest of achievements.
