Our Father’s Day event is always a family favourite!
This year was no exception, with parents and carers from our toddlers class through to our teenagers jumping on the mats.
There’s something very special about seeing multi-generational families share the mats, rolls and plenty of belly laughs. Many of our parents who joined us for a social roll like this have since gone on to become permanent members. We see you Eric!
So, if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines while your child trains, why not book a trial, jump on the mats and see what it’s all about?

Big weekend, big milestones. 👏

Nothing beats seeing our team grow in confidence, skill and determination on the mats.

A huge congratulations to all of our latest belt promotions, especially the girls who continue to go from strength to strength under ’s guidance. And a special shoutout on earning her first black belt degree — a well-deserved recognition of years of dedication to the art.

Congratulations also to Fernando Toledo on his new purple belt, a reward for all the hard work he’s put in, and to Yanis on earning his blue belt.

Special thanks to coach Lucas for being there to support on his day off.

Progress isn’t always measured in belts, but it’s pretty special when the hard work gets recognised. 💙🥋

Huge thanks as always to Tomasz Pietkiewicz for capturing it all so perfectly 📸
