#
THE LAST SIX DAYS IN REVIEW 💪
#
Sometimes, you need to take a step back and look at what we do week in, week out to appreciate just how much work is getting done.
#
Over the last six days, we've covered just about every aspect of the game:
#
🥋 Mixed ability classes
🤼 Monday Scrambles & stand-up
🔒 Guard passing & guard play
💥 Submissions & positional work
🥋 Gi & No-Gi training
🥊 MMA
👊 Kids, teens & adult classes
🚀 Introductory classes
🏆 Team training
🥇 Competition class
🤝 A visiting black belt and academy owner sharing ideas and exchanging knowledge.
#
Different ages, different abilities, different goals — all working towards becoming better. That's what Jiu-Jitsu is about: training hard, sharing knowledge and never stopping learning.
#
It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day routine, but when you look at the bigger picture, you realise just how much is happening on our mats every single week.
#
Thank you to everyone who attends, supports the academy and contributes to what we're building.
#
The coaches put in the work, but the team makes it what it is.

🥋 The Art of the Sweep 🥋
#
A beautifully executed technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
#
Timing, technique and precision coming together perfectly.
#
A well-executed sweep isn’t about brute strength; it’s about understanding balance, creating the right angle and using your opponent’s momentum against them.
#
Captured brilliantly by a professional photographer, ...
#
This is Jiu-Jitsu at its best. 👌

Empire Grappling – Compete, Learn, Improve 🥋
#
Yesterday, we had a small team of students out competing at Empire Grappling, testing themselves, challenging their skills, and looking for lessons in jiu-jitsu.
#
There were plenty of wins, some losses, and a whole lot of learning.
#
The real value of competition isn’t just in medals or results.
#
A win can show you what’s working, while a loss can expose gaps in your game.
#
Both provide valuable information that can shape your training, refine your approach, and help you move forward.
#
Competition is only as valuable as what you do with the experience.
#
And that’s exactly what we did this morning.
#
Straight back on the mats, with 37 people at Sunday training, working on the things that will help us progress, develop our games, and improve as practitioners.
#
That’s the process 》》》
#
Test yourself, learn from the experience, return to the mats, and put those lessons into practice.
#
Regardless of the result, every competition can make you better if you’re willing to learn from it.
#
Im very proud of everyone who competed yesterday..
#
We compete, we learn, and we keep building. 👊

🥋 More Than Medals! 🥋
#
More Than Jiu-Jitsu.
#
Two brothers 》》 Two medals..
#
One hug that says more than words ever could.
#
Our recent in-house competition was about so much more than winning and losing.
#
It was about giving our kids the opportunity to test themselves against real resistance, to face challenges, to learn how to stand up for themselves, and to discover what they're capable of when things get difficult.
#
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches them to stay calm under pressure, to persevere when things don't go their way, and to develop the confidence that comes from facing challenges rather than running away from them.
#
But just as importantly, it teaches them respect, humility, and compassion.
#
The same teammate you're competing against is the one cheering you on, helping you improve, and sharing in your success.
#
That's the beauty of what we're building.
#
It's not just about creating better Jiu-Jitsu athletes.
#
It's about helping build confident, resilient young people who know how to handle adversity, respect others, and carry themselves with confidence in the world outside the gym.
#
The medals are brilliant.
#
The matches are unforgettable.
#
The experience is invaluable.
#
But the friendships, the camaraderie, the family, and those moments of genuine connection..
#
That's what makes it special.
#
Two brothers embracing after a day of matches..
#
This is a photograph that captures everything we want our academy to stand for.

🥋 SEPTEMBER IN REVIEW 🥋
#
September was a big one at Team Torres Derry.
#
The mats were full, the training was hard, the laughs were plenty, and the atmosphere was exactly what we want our academy to be about.
#
A month of self-improvement, great training, competition preparation, competition results, kids’ promotions, adult medals and plenty of hard rounds.
#
As the competition season returned, our competitors put themselves to the test — we had dome incredible results..
#
Some didnt get the results they wanted but everyone came away better.
#
Our young attendees continued to grow too — not just in their Jiu-Jitsu, but in confidence, discipline, resilience and character, with well-earned promotions along the way.
#
And away from the medals and belts, there was something just as important happening every night:
#
Camaraderie.
#
People helping each other.
Training partners pushing each other.
New friendships being made.
Old friendships getting stronger.
Everyone turning up and putting in the work.
#
Because ultimately, that's what makes an academy great.
#
Not just the medals.
Not just the belts.
The people. The culture. The work. The journey.
#
September was another month of building something special together 🥋🔥
#
Thank you to everyone who makes Team Torres Derry what it is.

🥋 A HUGE MILESTONE FOR DANNY 🥋
#
After years of training with us, Danny has recently earned his Yellow & White Belt — a really significant milestone in his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey. 🟨⬜
#
But the belt is about much more than what happens on the mats.
#
It represents the years of showing up, listening, learning, making mistakes, getting back up and continuing to improve.
#
We've watched Danny grow not only in his Jiu-Jitsu, but in his confidence, discipline, resilience and maturity.
#
And that's one of the things we love most about teaching kids.
#
We're not just trying to create better young grapplers.
#
We're trying to help create confident, respectful, resilient young people who understand that progress doesn't happen overnight...
#
It comes from turning up and putting the work in.
#
Danny should be incredibly proud of himself.
#
Congratulations, Danny! 🥋
#
Your journey is only just beginning. 👊

🎥 TECHNIQUE 》TIMING 》 PRECISION.
#
A professionally filmed moment of one of our black belts, , putting one of BJJ’s most iconic submissions to work...
#
The Triangle Choke. 🔺
#
It might look simple when it’s executed perfectly.
#
But behind that finish are years of training, countless repetitions, understanding of angles, control, timing and the ability to stay composed when it matters.
#
That’s what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is about.
#
Simple techniques...
#
With a deep understanding...
#
A Serious skill...
#
Proud to have Aaron representing Team Torres Derry. 🥋

🥋 A very special milestone for Sadie. 🥋
#
After a full year of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sadie has earned her Grey & White Belt — her very first belt.
#
But what makes us most proud isn’t the belt itself. It’s everything that has gone into earning it.
#
Every week, Sadie turns up, works hard, listens, shows respect to her coaches and teammates, and gives her very best effort.
#
Even when something is difficult, she keeps trying.
#
That’s what we want our kids to learn through Jiu-Jitsu.
#
Discipline. Respect. Resilience. Confidence.
#
And the belief that hard work pays off and never goes unnoticed.
#
A belt can be tied around your waist in a moment, but the character built along the way lasts a lifetime.
#
Well done, Sadie.
#
You should be incredibly proud of yourself. 💪
#
And to Mum and Dad — enjoy this moment too.
#
These little milestones are the ones you'll remember. 🥋
