Our Gold regulars working a mixed class with the u14s tonight, these sessions are great for all levels as they can mingle training partners, and there are plenty of coaches to provide guidance to each study group 🔥🔶️⬛️

A few highlights of our under 10s programme working hard this week. It’s great to see so many of them spending lots of time on the mat and developing themselves as grapplers and people!
