Exeter Martial Arts

Some moments in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu mean so much more than the colour of a belt. They represent the tough rounds, the setbacks, the victories, and the decision to keep showing up even when it wasn’t easy.

This week, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate Dylan and Jordan on their well-earned promotions at Exeter Martial Arts with the Sidney Silva BJJ Association. 🥋💜💙

After five years of dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment, Dylan has earned his purple belt. Every training session, every challenge overcome, and every lesson learned has led to this moment. Purple belt is a testament to the work you’ve put in and the martial artist you’ve become.

Jordan has earned his blue belt after a fantastic belt test, marking a huge milestone in his BJJ journey. Blue belt isn’t just a new colour, it’s proof that consistency, courage, and determination always pay off.

Neither promotion came by chance. Both belts were earned through hard work, perseverance, humility, and the willingness to keep learning every time they stepped onto the mats.

We’re honoured to share this journey with you both and can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes you. Keep growing, keep inspiring, and never stop learning.

Congratulations, Dylan and Jordan. Your BJJ family couldn’t be prouder. 💜💙🥋

Big well done done to John who levelled up in BJJ this week after a solid belt test

Oss! 🥋 What an incredible way to wrap up our 30th Anniversary weekend!

The 🌞sun was shining, the energy on the mats was unmatched, and the instruction was absolutely world-class.

Massive thank you to everyone who stepped up, trained hard, and made this Seishin Mizu Ryu Jiu Jitsu gasshuku one for the history books.

Here’s to 30 years of technique, tradition, and community and to many more. 🌊✨

What a fantastic first day at this year’s Gasshuku (Summer School)! ☀️🥋

We wrapped up the day by celebrating our 30th anniversary with a beautiful cake 🎂, and congratulations to Team Exeter for taking the win in the rounders competition! 🏆 What a great start to an amazing weekend!

Today we’re saying goodbye to Fred as he finishes his gap year with us at Exeter Martial Arts and heads off to university in Manchester. 🎉🎓

Over the past year, Fred has been an incredible member of our team, bringing enthusiasm, kindness, and a positive attitude to everything he’s done. As well as helping keep the club running smoothly, he’s been a fantastic instructor in our children’s classes, building great relationships with our younger students and helping them grow in confidence and skill.

Fred has made a real difference to our club, and we’re so grateful for all of his hard work, dedication, and the example he’s set both on and off the mats.

Everyone at Exeter Martial Arts wishes you the very best as you start this exciting new chapter at university in Manchester. We know you’ll achieve great things, and we hope you’ll come back to train and teach whenever you can.

Thank you for everything, Fred, you’ll always be part of the Exeter Martial Arts family. Good luck! 👊💙
