Relson's First American Coral Belt!

A monumental promotion was conducted at the Gracie Ohio Academy on Saturday, September 9 when Grandmaster Relson Gracie promoted his FIRST Coral Belt, Dr. Jeffrey Hudson. Master Jeff has taken more private classes from Grandmaster Relson than almost any student over the decades of his Jiu-Jitsu training and teaching. He opened Gracie Ohio many years ago and established it as one of the premier Jiu-Jitsu training facilities in the midwest, if not the US. Dr. Jeff entrusted the school to Professor Robin Gieseler who has carried on the incredible teaching lineage and has continued to produce the highest level instructors, competitors, and practitioners in Relson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Gracie Ohio and the surrounding schools showed up in force to be present at this historic event. Congratulations to Dr. Jeffrey Hudson and Gracie Ohio!
