Tadhg has extended his training by attending Garage Jiujitsu in Sydney and competing at grappling industries comp in Melbourne recently. His brother Sy competed too, with some fantastic results, winning all his divisions. Keep up the good work boys.

Celebrations for the end of term were huge this weekend. We started with the interclub comp and finished up with another awesome seminar by Peter. The kids had many successes putting together the pressure the game has been working on over the last month. Transition from position to position with control improved. The knowledge of the rules and use of points was great to see. Each winner on the day provides 4 points, silver medallist 2 points and bronze medallist 1 point for their academy. The points from each school will be tallied up at the end of the year and the winner will receive the 2019 De Been Jiu Jitsu Darwin Cup. Keep an eye out on social media to see how the points finished up after Saturdays comp.

Big Congrats to our best & fairest for 2018, to be recognised by all academy members is something special. Thanks to all that attended and voted.
