What an INCREDIBLE week at the WAMMA NextGen Summer Camp!

What happens when you bring together athletes from different clubs, welcome friends from the United States, and create an environment focused on learning, leadership, and hard work?

An unforgettable week.

Every day challenged our athletes to become better—not just on the mats, but as people. We explored what it truly means to be a leader, how to take responsibility for yourself, and how to positively influence those around you. Through every lesson, workout, and conversation, our athletes learned that leadership starts with the choices you make every day.

20 athletes trained in our morning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program. 26 athletes took to the mats for our afternoon wrestling sessions.

The week was packed with: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, Wrestling instruction, Strength & conditioning sessions, A fantastic Lunch & Learn on leadership and nutrition, an inspiring guest presentation from AI Advantage Academy, exploring how artificial intelligence can help us learn, create, and prepare for the future.

Athletes showed determination, resilience, and a willingness to learn. They pushed themselves through every practice, conditioning session, and challenge while building friendships and camaraderie with athletes from across Manitoba and our American friends. The work ethic and positive attitude throughout the week were incredible to see!

We wrapped up an amazing week with an EPIC pool party full of laughs, and great food.

A huge thank you to all of our athletes, parents, coaches, guest speakers, and everyone who helped make this camp such a success. Watching these young athletes grow in confidence, leadership, and skill is exactly why we do what we do.

The countdown is already on... We can't wait to welcome everyone back for our next BJJ, Wrestling & Leadership Summer Camp this August!

Manitoba Amateur Wrestling Association Most Improved Wrestler of the Year – Dagur MacGillivray

Congratulations to Dagur MacGillivray on being named the 2026 MAWA Most Improved Wrestler of the Year!

Dagur's wrestling journey is a perfect example of what can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Unlike many wrestlers who begin competing at a young age, Dagur entered the sport later than most. In a relatively short period of time, he has made incredible strides through his willingness to learn, embrace challenges, and put in the work day after day.

Over the past season, Dagur has developed into one of the top athletes in his division, showing tremendous growth in his technical skills, competitive mindset, and overall performance. His progress has been driven by countless hours of training, a positive attitude, and a determination to improve every time he steps on the mat.

One of the highlights of his season was earning a 5th-place finish at the World Team Trials, competing against some of the best wrestlers in the country. This achievement reflects not only his talent, but also the dedication and perseverance he has shown throughout his wrestling journey.

We are incredibly proud of everything Dagur has accomplished and excited to see what the future holds for him. Congratulations, Dagur, on this well-deserved recognition!
