Last Friday, our BJJ community gathered at our gym in South Wimbledon for a meaningful adults grading, celebrating a group of our members as they advanced to blue, purple, and brown belts. It was great to see the mats filled with a mix of our longest-serving members alongside those who have only recently joined the team.
โThis grading carried a deep significance for us, marking our first since the passing of our former head coach, Oliver Geddes Oliver Geddes ,last summer. The foundation he built for this gym continues to guide and shape those that step onto the mats.
โOur growth as a team is a direct reflection of the dedication of our coaches. A sincere thank you to our head coach, Marcos and to coach Sam for their continued support and guidance. We also owe a great deal of gratitude to Coaches James James Pobjoy ,Vinicius Vinicius Penna | Stronger BJJ Coach ,Olivia ,and Alice Alice G ,who have each taken on a weekly class to ensure our students have continuous support and development. And of course to the many other members who have stepped in when asked. Thank you!
Most importantly, thank you to all of our members for showing up, supporting one another, and pushing each other forward. It was a proud and memorable day for our gym.
