SPARTA — The young martial artists in the Miller Brothers MMA & Fitness Little Spartans program are always working hard to develop and grow as martial artists, and head coach Mike Pagano has rewarded that hard work with another round of promotions.
The promotions were headlined by Charles Hooey and Eric Wittrien, who were both promoted to Grey-and-Black belts in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program.
Coach Pagano, along with his assistant coaches, also gave out 10 new stripes to students whose dedication on the mats has shown itself in the form of improved technique. Stripes were awarded to Lily Johnson (Yellow-and-White Belt, Third Stripe), Josh Enberg (Grey Belt, Third Stripe), Vince Rispoli (White Belt, Fourth Stripe), Elizabeth O'Brien (White Belt, Third Stripe), Anthony Reyes (White Belt, Third Stripe), Shaan Balkar (White Belt, Second Stripe), Sophia DeNapoli (White Belt, Second Stripe), Baseema Balkar (White Belt, First Stripe), Iman Balkar (White Belt, First Stripe), Alexander Mizak (White Belt, First Stripe).
Everyone in the Little Spartans antibully program continues to show great progress on the mats, and coach Pagano is excited to give out more promotions in the months to come.
