First Degree Jiu-Jitsu

Yesterday, we had 3 members compete on the big stage and the Victorian BJJ championships. Competition is high, and I'm very proud of how all three performed.
Shaun executed his game plan perfectly in 2 fights and walked away with a gold medal 🥇
Shae had a tough opponent and performed very well, scoring multiple points during the match, but just fell short at the end and came home with a silver medal 🥈
Eason .rehab put on a show. Although he lost his match, he left it all on the mats and had a highlight reel submission attempt!
Well done team! Onto the next one 💪

Congratulations to Freddy for earning his blue belt on Monday night!!
Freddy has been training hard working towards this milestone and has quickly developed a reputation in our club as one tough opponent. His stand up skills are high level, and when he hits the ground, his athleticism shines through. Recently he has been competing with great success, bringing home a gold medal in his last comp. He is a valued member of our club, always looks after his training partners, and this promotion is very well earned and deserved! Congratulations Freddy. Keep up the awesome work!! 💪😊🤙
