A decade of hard work.
Countless hours on the mats.
A mindset that inspires everyone around him. π€π₯
Last Saturday was a special day for our team. It was an honour to award his black belt. Jay earned it through consistency, discipline, resilience, and a true love for Jiu Jitsu. To do what he does at his age is incredibly inspiring β a reminder that commitment and passion matter far more than time or excuses.
Jay, your journey shows us that itβs never too late to grow, to challenge yourself, and to become better every single day. Youβve inspired every person who has shared the mats with you.
Thank you for being part of our family.

Last Saturday at the Grading was Eduardoβs final day with us at Grand Union.
After three great years together, he is now moving on to follow his dreams, and we wish him all the luck and success on his new journey.
We want to thank Eduardo for everything he gave to our academy β his dedication, his energy, and the care he showed to all our students. He will always be part of our story.
For anyone who would like to share a last roll and spend one more moment with him here in our Rottingdean Academy, we will be holding a Farewell Training this Saturday the 12th at 1pm at Grand Union Brighton.
Everyone is welcome.
