Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Darwin

Please let us know if you are coming so we can add to our booking.

The welcome here in Brazil was something else. Something as simple as highly experienced competitors shaking your hand on the warm-up mats and again in the bullpen set the tone straight away. Respect at the highest level.

Today I competed at the Brasileiro Championships. 10 in the division. I came away with 3rd, my first major podium as a black belt. As expected, the level across the division was high.

I always tell our students — it’s just another comp, one fight at a time.
I’ll admit… this one felt a little different. Even after the majors over the last couple of years, I felt it walking in. Luckily, the moment the match started, it all disappeared.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you ever get the opportunity to do this, take it.

Thank you to my team at BJJ Darwin for the preparation and support. And respect to every competitor in my division.

Japan next 🇯🇵 , can’t wait!

Resilience isn’t built when it’s easy. It’s built in the tough rounds, the scrambles, the moments you don’t want to be there. Show up. Stay in it. Find your balance.
