🥋❤️ WELL DONE TEAM JIYŪ! ❤️🥋

A brilliant day at today’s Meadowbank Under 21 Competition, with Noah, Alex & Alex representing Jiyū and giving it their all on the tatami! 👊🔥

What makes us especially proud is seeing the genuine friendship and bond these three have built. They’re always there for one another — cheering each other on, picking each other up when things don’t go their way, sharing the laughs and celebrating every little success together. ❤️

It’s that kind of friendship that makes being part of a team so special. 🥋❤️

All three showed some fantastic improvements today, with growing confidence, composure and determination in their performances. 💪

And a WELL DONE to Noah on taking home a 🥉 BRONZE MEDAL in Kumite! 🏆👏

The medal is something to celebrate, but watching these three grow together, support each other and enjoy the journey is what makes us most proud.

Keep looking out for each other, keep pushing each other and, most importantly, keep enjoying every moment! ❤️🔥

Proud of you three! 👊🥋
