Hawkesbury Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Yesterday we took a small team of our young kickboxers to the ISKA All Valley Tournament in Maitland. Most of these kids competed for the very first time outside of the academy. Some of these kids took to the competition mat like fish in water, others had to overcome fear and adversity to push forward. We had some big emotions on the day, but that is all part of the experience and what better way to build resilience. The 2 hour drive home felt like a short drive to the shops as we gushed over the amazing performances of our students, we are super proud of the performances, but most of all the sportsmanship shown and courage under fire. I posted the full results below.

A big thank you to the parents for making the long trip and supporting each others kids, it was an amazing team environment! Please send us your photos and videos so we can share throughout the week. Whatsapp is the best way to share those.

Finally, just a word on our kids kickboxing program. Our system, developed by Coach Sinem Jenkinson (3rd degree black belt Kenpo Freestyle Karate, 2nd Degree Black Belt Tae Kwon Do, Bachelors Degree Early Childhood) follows the Hawkesbury BJJ philosophy of live training being at the core of what we do. That means lot's of partner drills, pad work and controlled, respectful sparring. The classes are high energy and fun and works great as both an amazing sport or a tool to build confidence and self discipline. The best way to describe our program is modern teaching methods with traditional martial arts values.
