👏✌️POST IN-HOUSE & GRADING WRAP UP👏✌️

Yesterday was a fantastic day for our club, and we couldn’t be prouder of every single person who played a part.

Firstly, congratulations to all of our youth who stepped onto the mats and gave it everything they had. Whether you won or lost, your courage to test yourselves & deal with the nerves & fear is what truly matters. Every match is another lesson, another opportunity to grow, and another step forward in your Jiu Jitsu journey. The experience you gained yesterday is invaluable✌️

A huge congratulations also to everyone who received promotions. Your new stripes & belts represent far more than technical ability, they recognise your effort, determination, consistency, commitment, and your willingness to keep showing up, improving, and refusing to give up when things get hard. Be proud of what you’ve earned.

Events like these simply don’t happen without an incredible team behind the scenes. Thank you to our girls on the scoring tables, our legends on the BBQ, our young referee, our coaches, and everyone who stayed behind to help pack everything down. Your willingness to contribute is what makes this club so special🙏🏼

To our boys who stepped up for the exhibition matches, you were outstanding. You represented yourselves and the club with skill, courage, and professionalism. Hopefully you’ve inspired some of our younger generation to dream big and one day follow in your footsteps🫡

Finally, thank you to all of our parents who continue to trust us with the development of your children. Your support, encouragement, and commitment allow everything we do to be possible, and we never take that for granted🙏🏼

Individually, we are all small cogs in a much larger wheel, each contributing something unique. Together, however, we can achieve incredible things for our children and continue building a club that develops not only great Jiu Jitsu athletes but even better people.

Thank you all, and congratulations once again. 👏

Mauriora🙏🏼

Jiu Jitsu 4 Life✌️🫡

One of the most rewarding parts of coaching is watching young athletes grow into leaders.

After more than a decade of training in Jiu Jitsu from the age of 5, Waikura and Ua have developed into accomplished competitors, representing with distinction both nationally and internationally. Now they have the opportunity to pass on that knowledge and experience to the next generation of young athletes travelling the same path they once did.

It’s an exciting stage of their journey as they begin giving back to our youth programme while developing a whole new set of skills in the art of becoming exceptional instructors.

We are incredibly proud of both of them and look forward to seeing the positive impact they have on the young people coming through our academy.

Doing amazing you two👏👍
