An incredible start to our first Judo class! 🥋

Huge thank you to our instructors and to everyone who came along — the turnout was amazing and the energy on the mats was fantastic.

We’re excited for what’s to come.

This is only the beginning.

Last Saturday (Feb 28th) we had the honour of hosting an incredible seminar with the legendary Braulio Estima.
It is always a privilege to welcome world champions to our mats. Athletes at this level carry not only titles, but a lifetime of knowledge, experience, and passion for Jiu-Jitsu and there is always so much to learn from them.
Thank you, Braulio, for sharing your wisdom with our team and for inspiring everyone who stepped on the mats that day.

One photo… so many beautiful reasons to celebrate.🥳

Last night we celebrated the birthday of our wonderful Sofie, the dedication of our lovely student and substitute instructor Trista, who continues to show such talent and generosity in sharing her knowledge, and three amazing young women who started their journey in our kids classes and now proudly train in the adult class.

Watching them grow on and off the mats fills us with pride and gratitude.

This is what our academy is about growth, support, friendship, and a community that lifts each other up.

This Saturday reminded us why we do this 🥹🥋
So proud of every student who stepped onto the mats and gave their all: the courage, the growth, the heart, the resilience.

We’re also incredibly grateful for every teammate, family member, and friend who showed up to support. Your presence, your cheers, your energy mean more than you know.

A huge thank you to for capturing such beautiful moments that truly reflect what Rick Young Academy stands for.

More than a academy.
A community. A family.

Proud to be part of the Scottish BJJ scene and thankful to Scottish Grappling for bringing everyone together.

Congratulations to all competitors your journey inspires us 🤍👊OSS
