On Saturday the 16th of September after a long day of competition at the Will Machado Nationals in Australia, John Will took the opportunity to promote New Zealand's own Geoff Aitken to the rank of Black Belt.

Geoff is the first BJJNZ Black Belt who has done almost all his training in New Zealand and is the first of the main BJJNZ instructors to attain the coveted Black Belt. Well done buddy and we look forward to having you on the mat in Wellington soon.
