Last month we had the honour of promoting our oldest student Jeff, who earned his blue belt at the youthful age of 68!!

Congratulations Jeff 👏🏽🥋⚔️

Jeff is the definition of consistency - always showing up, putting in the work, and leading by example.

A great teammate, supportive training partner, and someone who brings a positive energy to every class.

He’s a beautiful human with great energy, and it shows in the way he trains and supports everyone around him.

His journey is a reminder that progress comes from dedication over time, not shortcuts.

Well deserved, Jeff.
Proud to have you on the mats.

🎂🎂🎂

Seven years today.

This place started as just an idea: a deep love for Jiu Jitsu and the lifestyle behind it. A pull toward the craft, the details, the quiet lessons, and a belief that if it was taught with care and honesty, it would find its people. Over time, that passion turned into something real - a second home for many of us.

I’ve seen kids grow in confidence, adults push through limits they didn’t think were possible, and families become part of something bigger than just training. Jiu Jitsu, when practiced honestly, becomes more than a sport. It becomes a shared language built on effort, respect, discipline, and the choice to keep showing up, even on the hard days.

Jiu Jitsu has a way of revealing who you are. It strips things back, rewarding patience, humility, and consistency. You don’t fake your way through it; you earn everything. Every round, every lesson, every small step forward adds up over time.

It gives back to you what you give to it.

“Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”
— Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings

Here’s to many more to come.
Blessed and forever grateful.
Jiu Jitsu for life.

⚔️🥋🎂

We had the pleasure of welcoming Phil Grapsas for another eventful seminar last week, and it was an absolute privilege to have him back on the mats with us.

As always, the seminar was excellent — full of sharp detail, practical concepts, and Jiu Jitsu centred around connection, pressure, and efficiency.
A big thank you to Phil for making the time to come down, share his knowledge, and raise the level of the room, and also to John Smallios for his support and for being part of the night.




It was a great day of training followed by an even better evening, where we had the opportunity to recognise the continued growth of our students through Jiu Jitsu.

🟤🟤🟤🟤
Congratulations to Braden, Mark, Asi, and Niv, who earned their well deserved Brown Belts.

It’s been great to watch the steady development that comes from years of consistent training, patience, and attention to detail.
This stage reflects not only technical depth, but maturity, composure, and leadership on the mats.
Well done boys!

🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣
Congratulations to Raad, Joey, Kathyrine, Sarah, and Daniel, who earned their Purple Belts.

A huge achievement — all home-grown and developed within the academy over the years.
Seeing how their confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving have evolved through Jiu Jitsu has been incredibly rewarding.

Amazing work!

🔵🔵
Massive congratulations to Glenn and James, who earned their Blue Belts.

Both have put in a lot of honest work, and it’s been great to see their progress steadily take shape.
This milestone reflects strong foundations and a growing understanding built through consistent training.

Congratulations to everyone who was promoted — enjoy the next challenge and everything that comes with it.
We’re incredibly proud to see you continue to grow through martial arts.

“Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”

Phil Grapsas Seminar Tomorrow!

We’re excited to welcome Phil Grapsas from Leverage Jiu Jitsu tomorrow for or a special seminar and night on the mats once again.
A third degree black belt under Master Pedro Sauer, Phil brings a clear, practical approach to Jiu Jitsu, and his ability to break things down always makes for a valuable session for everyone involved.

Alongside the seminar, we’ll also be recognising the progress of several of our students with promotions on the night. These moments reflect consistency, effort, and time spent showing up — and they’re always something the whole team comes together to support.

Please note that we’ll be running a different timetable tomorrow, with no kids classes scheduled, to allow the evening to focus on the seminar and grading.

Expect a focused session, great energy on the mats, and a strong sense of community as we train together and support our teammates taking the next step in their journey.
