We had the pleasure of welcoming Phil Grapsas for another eventful seminar last week, and it was an absolute privilege to have him back on the mats with us.
As always, the seminar was excellent — full of sharp detail, practical concepts, and Jiu Jitsu centred around connection, pressure, and efficiency.
A big thank you to Phil for making the time to come down, share his knowledge, and raise the level of the room, and also to John Smallios for his support and for being part of the night.
It was a great day of training followed by an even better evening, where we had the opportunity to recognise the continued growth of our students through Jiu Jitsu.

Congratulations to Braden, Mark, Asi, and Niv, who earned their well deserved Brown Belts.
It’s been great to watch the steady development that comes from years of consistent training, patience, and attention to detail.
This stage reflects not only technical depth, but maturity, composure, and leadership on the mats.
Well done boys!

Congratulations to Raad, Joey, Kathyrine, Sarah, and Daniel, who earned their Purple Belts.
A huge achievement — all home-grown and developed within the academy over the years.
Seeing how their confidence, adaptability, and problem-solving have evolved through Jiu Jitsu has been incredibly rewarding.
Amazing work!

Massive congratulations to Glenn and James, who earned their Blue Belts.
Both have put in a lot of honest work, and it’s been great to see their progress steadily take shape.
This milestone reflects strong foundations and a growing understanding built through consistent training.
Congratulations to everyone who was promoted — enjoy the next challenge and everything that comes with it.
We’re incredibly proud to see you continue to grow through martial arts.
