Saturday Technical Lab finished, and then rounds for over an hour. No better way to spend an rainy early Saturday morning!

Hard work, good training partners and a mat full of energy.

Life is good.

Watching your child try something new can take courage from you, too.

Liah’s dad remembers feeling anxious watching her step onto the mats. Then he began noticing her progress—and leadership that showed up at school, too.

Along the way, he learnt to step back and let her grow.

Congratulations on your new belt, Liah. We’re proud to be part of your story. ❤️

A huge congratulations to Liah on her recent promotion to Grey Belt!

Liah has become such an important part of our Little Ninjas class. She listens, works hard, treats her training partners with respect, and consistently gives her best in everything we ask of her. She’s also become one of those students we can confidently pair with newer Little Ninjas because we know she’ll lead them in the right direction simply through the example she sets.

Her coach described her as “an absolute role model in our class”, and that probably sums her up best.

This Grey Belt is very well deserved, Liah. We’re incredibly proud of the young martial artist you’re becoming.

And congratulations to Shaun and Danielle too. There’s always a family behind a six-year-old who shows up this consistently. 💪

Keep going, Liah. This is only the beginning. 🥋

A big day for our Iron Grip kids at the ADCC South Africa Open.

We took a smaller squad of 12 young competitors to this one, and they put together some seriously impressive performances across the day.

The team came home with 10 medals representing Rio Grappling Club:

4 Gold
3 Silver
3 Bronze

But the part we’re most proud of is the way these kids competed. Stepping onto an ADCC mat takes courage, especially when you’re young. There were wins, losses, close matches, tough brackets and plenty of lessons to bring back into the academy.

Gold:
Remia Crous
Eric Schulenburg
Madison Daly
Annabelle Jordaan

Silver:
Gabriel Jordaan
Jenna Crous
Talia Vermaak

Bronze:
Jackson Daly
Ethan Cousins
Liebe Symington

And a big well done to Lihan Botma and Joshua de Greeff, who both fought through their division and represented the academy brilliantly.

We are very proud of this group. They are amazing young warriors who keep growing and keep coming back demonstrating their warrior mindset!

Three competitors. Three finals. Three silver medals, and every one of them had to win their way there.

We took a small adult squad to the ADCC South Africa Open this weekend, with Marcus, Matthew and Douw representing Iron Grip. All three won their way through their brackets and into the finals.

What makes it even more impressive is that both Matthew and Marcus have less than 18 months of Jiu-Jitsu experience.

Marcus, our least experienced competitor on the day, made it to the final in only his second Jiu-Jitsu competition experience.

Matthew had a long road through a deep beginner bracket, including avenging a disqualification loss from a previous tournament along the way. He injured his shoulder badly in yesterday’s match before the final, but still stepped back onto the mat and fought the final through to the end, eventually losing 2-0 points.

Douw had a strong technical performance but unfortunately came up short in the final.

Well done to all the other competitors who came out to scrap and make the day worth it.

Really proud of all three guys and looking forward to how they dial it in for the next one. Three very different runs, but every one of those silver medals was earned.

Big night for Mr Dylan Turner.

After 2 years and a lot of work on the mats, he earned his blue belt. He’s also been a key assistant in our kiddie classes, so come Monday he’ll be getting a ton of questions and high fives😁

Congratulations, Dylan. Well deserved.

Some of the Iron Grip kids earned their first stripe, while others added another one to the belt.

Either way, it means the same thing, they’ve been showing commitment and dedication, putting in the work and improving!

Well done, guys. Keep going.

A few of our kids earned their first stripe today, while others added another one to the belt.

Either way, it means the same thing - they’ve been showing dedication, putting in the work and improving.

Well done, kiddos. Keep going.
