KÄNSEPT ACADEMY

We would like to congratulate the Pangelinan Family ry.jitsu on a huge accomplishment this weekend at the IBJJF Pan Kids 2026.

Akemi taking home 🥈after a dominate performance in a tough bracket up to the finals. We are so proud of you for stepping out there and representing your home and team!

Ryu taking 🥇 in his division after a technical match. Not only securing a Grand Slam achievement, but being the first Chamoru 🇬🇺 to do so at a young age! Making history for himself, his family and for Guam!

Steph and Angelo, this is the result of your dedication and commitment to your kids. You give them the opportunity to learn and work hard along side teammates and coaches! Not only are they inspiring, talented young athletes, also respectful, hard working, humble kids! Congrats on this huge achievement again! Well deserved

Come through for good vibes, food and surf! We will have games throughout the day and a Kendama tournament hosted by “Rudy” Carter JS Fujimura. Prizes for the winners too!!

Sign up sheet for the table will be posted at the academy! *you are not mandatory to bring anything to attend.

See you guys out there 🤙🏾

Day 2 at the IBJJF Honolulu Open Kids. We saw so much progress in our athletes stepping out on those mats this past weekend. With a few months work put in, we are starting to see the fundamentals we are instilling in our kids program. We had some close matches and some big wins again. This is part of the journey towards growing our young athletes to believe in themselves and their abilities! Congrats to all the kids, who won and lost. No matter the results we are proud of you for doing the hard thing. Thank you to our coaches for guiding our kids to become better athletes and paving the road to become even better young adults! To the parents, friends and family, thank you for the support you show for the kids.
