Saturday mornings at 5E are one of our favourite times of the week!

There’s nothing better than seeing all three levels of our programme on the mats—working hard, learning, and having fun together. 🥋

Great work, team! Keep it up. 👏

Our Gold Classes give our coaches the opportunity to provide maximum attention and focus to every competitor.

With smaller groups and a more focused environment, we can break down complex techniques and concepts in greater detail, helping athletes get more from each session and develop a deeper understanding of Jiu Jitsu

Building strong characters on and off the mats

At our academy, we believe hard work deserves recognition. Our Gold Team are fantastic examples of what can be achieved through dedication, consistency, and a positive attitude.

By rewarding effort and commitment, we help our younger students understand that success comes from showing up, working hard, and never giving up when things get tough.

These lessons are invaluable in Jiu Jitsu, but they also help build confidence, resilience, discipline, and a strong work ethic that will benefit them throughout school, sport, and everyday life.

The work continues
