Happy Birthday Coach

Today we just want to say thank you. Not just for being an incredible Jiu-Jitsu coach, but for being someone who has genuinely helped shape our daughter Xienna into the person she is becoming.

Watching Xie grow under your guidance has been such a gift. You have not only developed her skills on the mats, but you have helped build her confidence, resilience, discipline and belief in herself. The lessons she is learning go far beyond techniques and competitions. You are helping her build character, strength and heart.

As parents, that means everything to us. Raymond and I trust you, respect you and are deeply grateful for the role you play in her life and in ours. It truly takes a village to raise strong children, and you are a big part of ours.

We hope this year brings you success, health, happiness and continued impact in the lives of all the kids and families you lead. Thank you for your patience, your leadership and the example you set every single day.

Happy Birthday Coach. ✨️


Love Xienna Parents ( & .hughes)

What a year it’s been with my second family. 🖤
From the toughest rolls to the loudest laughs, we’ve grown stronger together—on and off the mats.

So grateful for this crew, the memories, the lessons, and the love. Here’s to everything we’ve achieved… and everything still to come.
Stronger together ❤️

❤️

Not every result goes your way, but every moment is a chance to learn and grow.

My coach always reminds me everyday that im stronger than I realise, braver than I believe, and capable of more than I can ever imagine. This is the reason why I will never give up and just keep going! 👊 I know Ive got this!

Thank you caoch 🙏

🥉 3rd place at the South Australia State Jiu-Jitsu Championship!

This time I jumped up in both weight and age categories to really put myself to the test. It was an amazing experience to learn, grow, and sharpen my skills.

Huge thank you to the incredible competitors, my coaches my mum and dad, and my Jits family who are always there cheering me on. Your support means everything. 🙏💙

Now it’s time to train even harder and get ready for the Pan Pacific Kids Jiu-Jitsu! 👊✨

Some days the scoreboard doesn’t reflect the work, the heart, or the effort put in. This weekend I went up in weight category and against competitors a few years older then me and was put to the test.. and the outcome wasn’t the result we hoped for — but it’s not the end, it’s just part of the journey.

Losses don’t define you, they refine you. They show you where to grow, where to dig deeper, and where to rise stronger.

I know I have the very best coach's at around me to learn, adapt, and keep building. With failure, it isn’t over.. it’s just the beginning of the next chapter to grow and come back stronger then ever. 👊💪 lets keep going!!!

Had a moment today I’ll never forget.
I went to an open mat... and for the first time ever, I got to roll with my dad. 🥹

It wasn’t about the technique, the pressure, or the taps. (I did get him though) It was about sharing something I love with someone I love. One of those moments that reminds you how powerful this journey really is.

Thank you, Dad. That meant everything. 💙
