Huge congratulations to Adam on his Blue Belt! 🥋💙

6 years ago this lad walked through our doors as a young kid. 6 years later — Blue Belt. That says everything.

Sticking with anything for 6 years is hard. Doing it through your junior years, when life pulls you in every direction? That's a different level of dedication.

You've earned every bit of this Adam. So proud to watch you grow — not just as a martial artist but as a person. 🙌

Massive credit to Adams family too for keeping him motivated and pushing him forward. That support matters more than you know.

This is what we're here for. 💪

This is what Jiu Jitsu is all about. 🥋

Some people walk through our doors not knowing a single thing about the sport. No background, no experience — just curiosity and a little courage. They start as white belts, find their feet, and slowly but surely, they find their people.

Week in, week out, they test themselves on the mats. And somewhere along the way, they fall in love with it — so much so that they bring their families along for the ride.

That's exactly the journey Jordan & Matt Shepherd have been on. 👏

In just 18 months, these two have gone from beginners to blue belts — earned every single stripe along the way. But more than that, they've brought their families into the RGA Salford family, helped build our Juniors programme, and become an integral part of our coaching team.

They didn't just grow. They helped US grow.

Congratulations on your blue belts, lads. This is only the beginning. 💙
