Thank you so much, Prof. Gui MENDESBROS for being so generous with the knowledge and wisdom you’ve grown into over the past 14yrs that you’ve been running ART OF JIU JITSU with Prof. Rafa and the rest of your team. Witnessing and experiencing your leadership has been so impactful and inspiring to me. It’s challenged me as a person and has given me a drive to improve so much more as a leader in order for there to be integrity in the standard we need to set at Solas Jiujitsu | Quality Jiujitsu in New Manila 🇵🇭. The story of AoJ is so encouraging, seeing how much growth and evolution there has been since I first set foot in your academy back in 2014. Your thrust towards developing leaders through the sport is one that I truly believe in and hope one day to be able to follow in the system we are building at Solas Jiujitsu | Quality Jiujitsu in New Manila 🇵🇭. Thank you for building the system that you have and leaving it open for all of us around the world to access in different ways. With the right attitude, mindset and work ethic, growth and progress are inevitable for anyone that maximizes the opportunities that you guys have built through your platform. You’ve raised the standard of the sport, and I look forward to seeing many more lives impacted by your system. 🙏🏽

Thank You, Lord, for your providence that allowed all of this to happen for Your glory. 🙏🏽

Great performance and result, Pax and Jin! 💯

We considered this competition as part of their preparations for their upcoming international competitions and we are so happy about them being able to execute their gameplan and have more data to continue fine-tuning their games. It's amazing to see the consistent progress of our athletes, with incremental improvements every single time. Soon we will see their work get tested in the international stage and we are so excited. It's not just about what result will come but how they continue to develop and mature into the athletes they aspire to be.

Thank you to everyone that continues to support our team on and off the mats!

Pan Asians 2026: COURAGE and PROGRESS

These were the two things our athletes displayed today. We are so proud of everyone that hit their performance-based goals showing significant improvement from their previous competitions.

Special mention to our athletes who displayed so much courage fighting 3 weight divisions above their regular weight (one of which was even a first timer) and even a belt division higher just so they could fight.

This year was also a much better result than last year's Pan Asians, with more than twice the number of medals and twice the number of golds.

🥇🥇🥇🥇- Jin
🥇- Santino
🥇- Gian
🥇- Cahlil

🥈- Martin
🥈- Clarence
🥈- Bea

🥉- Flonie
🥉- Dashi

Lots to be grateful for, but lots to be done still! We are looking forward to every part of the process, knowing how much room for growth there is for the team.

Congratulations, everyone! Thank you to our community and support system as well for coming over to watch and for helping our athletes prepare for this competition. This truly was a team effort! 💯
