One of the most rewarding parts of coaching is watching young athletes grow into leaders.

After more than a decade of training in Jiu Jitsu from the age of 5, Waikura and Ua have developed into accomplished competitors, representing with distinction both nationally and internationally. Now they have the opportunity to pass on that knowledge and experience to the next generation of young athletes travelling the same path they once did.

It’s an exciting stage of their journey as they begin giving back to our youth programme while developing a whole new set of skills in the art of becoming exceptional instructors.

We are incredibly proud of both of them and look forward to seeing the positive impact they have on the young people coming through our academy.

Doing amazing you two👏👍
