Big thanks to Adam, Levi, and Nicole from Oamaru Grappling Club - BJJ & Submission Wrestling for dropping by the Otago Fight Centre on Wednesday!
Adam taught a class for our students, sharing the ecological approach they've been using at their gym for the past few months. It was thought-provoking, and a lot of fun to experience it firsthand.
I also had the privilege of promoting Adam to black belt and Levi to brown belt. Congrats to both of you on these incredible milestones! 🖤🤎

🔥 Congrats to Levi & Adam for being awarded their new belts ranks 🔥
