🏁 Our Last Official Session for AY ‘25-‘26 🏎️💨

To end our last official training session at DLSU BJJ GO, we had the privilege of recognizing several deserving students with their hard earned stripes.

Much like a diploma, every stripe and belt promotion represents countless hours of discipline, consistency, resilience, and hard work. While they may seem like small pieces of tape, they symbolize the time, sacrifices, and growth each student has invested on the mats.

Aside from learning and refining techniques, we also spent the day playing games and capping off the session with a mini tournament. It was the perfect way to end our final training session for AY ‘25-‘26, filled with learning, laughter, and healthy competition.

Some of these promotions were long overdue, and every single one was truly earned. Unfortunately, some recipients were unable to attend due to academic responsibilities, but that doesn’t diminish what they’ve accomplished. It was an honor to finally award these stripes to those who deserved them.
