🥋 Team Warriors at the South Central Open – Swindon 2026 🥋

What an incredible day for Team Warriors at the South Central Open Sport Ju Jitsu competition in Swindon!

With 90% of our students competing for the very first time, every single one of them stepped onto the mats with courage, determination, and true warrior spirit. We are beyond proud to announce that the team came home with 2nd place overall, along with an amazing haul of gold, silver, and bronze medals! 🥇🥈🥉

This was a fantastic achievement and a true reflection of the dedication, hard work, and commitment shown by all of our students in training. For so many to compete for the first time and perform so well is something truly special.

A huge thank you to our Team Captain Molly Finch for looking after the team throughout the day, and to Sensei Finn Baillie for leading the Team, refereeing and supporting all our students during the event.

Most importantly, thank you to all of our students who stepped onto the mats — you showed heart, courage, and sportsmanship, and we are so proud of each and every one of you.

A brilliant day, a fantastic result, and memories made. On to the next competition! 💪🔥

PLEASE READ.....

This is about one of our students and deserves our support:

Last year, on February 02nd 2025 my son was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital with a very serious (then undiagnosed) brain infection, which was affecting him extremely severely.

His deterioration at the time was rapid. However, thanks to: his strong faith, youth, physical strength; unwavering love and support of his family and friends; extraordinary wealth of knowledge, skill and expertise of the many health care professionals caring for him and state of the art equipment at Great Ormond Street, he was able to achieve a relatively speedy, excellent recovery.

Now while this is my son's journey and I am not trying to tell his story, I think it is important to show gratitude in any way that we can and pay that forward. It is not possible to pay back what GOSH was able to do for him, but we can help to raise as much as we can to assist GOSH to be able to do for others what they did for our Son.

Your contributions however much will be much appreciated and put to great use in a very special place.
I’m running 100km in February for GOSH Charity!
I’m challenging myself to run 100km this February to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I run, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

Zyle Mills This February, I’m challenging myself to run 100km to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). I’d love to raise £350 to help give seriously ill children the chance of a better future. https://fundraise.gosh.org/fundraisers/zylemills This will be a big challenge for ...

Massive congratulations to these 3 Warriors heading out to the European Championships representing Team GB . Go smash it Warriors 🥋🏅
