Endgame Jiu Jitsu

It's a truly powerful practice.
It has seen me, and many others I know, through some of life's hardest challenges.

Some days it's practicing, some days it's being amongst your people.

Either way... It's Jiu Jitsu. 🥋🙏

This competition team is exceptional. 🔥

Their heart, determination and tenacity impresses me beyond words.

Here's to you all! 👏🙏🔥💪🥋

🏆 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗦𝗖𝟵 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦! 🏆

What an absolute monster of a day for the 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗝𝗶𝘂 𝗝𝗶𝘁𝘀𝘂 competition squad!

Today, our team of 𝟭𝟰 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 left everything on the mats at St Patrick’s College in Prospect, walking away as the 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 at the 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝟵! 🥇🥋

In an incredibly tight race, we secured 𝟭𝟭𝟭 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹, just clawing ahead of MMA North, who finished on 102 points with the largest squad of the day. Huge respect to them for the battle! 🤝

Our squad maintained a highly impressive win rate, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟲𝟵 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹, 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝟲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟯. We did have one competitor forced to withdraw due to injury today (Big Mike) —which is the nature of the beast sometimes—but we are sending him all the healing vibes! 💪❤️

📊 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆

Our individual medallists put on some incredible performances:
🥇🥇 𝗔𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗻 – 2 Gold
🥇🥇 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻 – 2 Gold
🥇🥇 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗲 – 2 Gold

⭐ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

👦 𝗔𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗻 & 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻: Two of our junior squad members who both came away with double gold in Gi and No-Gi. The craziest part? 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆! The future is bright. ✨

👑 𝗞𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿: Had a phenomenally impressive outing. After taking a tough silver in his weight class, he went on an absolute tear to 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲 (𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁) 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻!

🔥 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗞𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗻𝗶𝗮: Took double gold and had a flawless run, 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 across both Gi and No-Gi. To top off a perfect day, Geordie was 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺! 🟦 Over his last two competitions, Geordie has walked away with 5 gold medals, zero losses, 18+ matches, conceding only 2 points, and finishing every single opponent. Standard set!

𝗧𝗼 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 & 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆

Lastly, I want to give a massive shout-out to our other Endgame coaches, 𝗕𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁 and 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗻 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. Both men have been utterly instrumental in the success of this squad. I am incredibly grateful to have both sharing their knowledge and skills with all our members. 🧠🥋

From me personally, I want to say a massive congratulations to every single one of our competitors. You continually put it on the line every competition. The heart, grit, and dedication you all demonstrate to elevate Endgame to 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 is extraordinary.

It honestly means the world to me! 🌍🖤

Let's keep building! ♟️🔥
