We had four kids from the Team Torres - Derry academy competing today at the Solid Ground BJJ Tournament.
#
🥇🥇🥇🥈
#
Their efforts returned three golds and a silver — and every single one of our kids got at least two matches.
#
More importantly, they all went out there, competed hard and fought really well. 👊
#
Thats 5 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 from six attendees conpeting in the past few weeks.
#
A little-known fact about our kids programme is that we have a small competition team performing at the highest level of IBJJF competition.
#
With sibblings and spear heading our kids competition team over the past few years.
#
Bringing medals back from Pans - Europeans - Elite worlds and a host of other competitions.
#
These young attendees travelling around the world competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and getting great results against some of the best young athletes in the sport.
#
But behind those kids is an army of young people who simply love coming to the mats.
#
Some want to compete. Some might compete one day. Some probably never will.
#
And that's absolutely fine.
#
Because competition isn't the only measure of what jiu-jitsu can give a child.
#
For us, jiu-jitsu is a vehicle for building resilience, problem-solving, confidence, discipline and friendship.
#
They learn to deal with pressure.
#
They learn to lose and get back up.
#
They learn to solve problems when things aren't going their way.
#
And they build friendships through the battles, the hard rounds and the camaraderie on the mat.
#
That's what we're really proud of.
#
The medals are fantastic.
#
But the well rounded & respectful young adults is the goal.
#
Well done to all four of our competitors today. 👏🥋

Sample Butterfly Sweep 🦋
#
One of the most effective sweeps from the butterfly guard.
#
Simple mechanics, strong control, and a great example of using your opponent’s movement against them.
#
Control the upper body
#
Get your butterfly hook in the right position
#
Create the correct angle and off-balance
#
Use your legs and hips together to finish the sweep
#
The goal isn’t to muscle your opponent over
#
It’s to understand the mechanics and make the movement do the work.
#

This is what people don’t see.
#
The shots, the sprawls, the scrambles, the failed attempts, and the reps that happen long before competition day.
#
No shortcuts. No easy rounds.
#
Just teammates pushing teammates, every single session.
#
Takedowns that become battles.
#
Scrambles that test your heart.
#
Training that demands everything you’ve got.
#
This is where confidence is built.
#
This is where pressure becomes familiar.
#
This is where Team Torres Derry is forged.
#
If you’re looking to become harder to break..
