Yesterday I held my first inter club at Southend BJJ.
Earlier in the year a few kids showed interest in competing.
Putting them in to a competition with no experience isn’t always great for the parents wallet.
The kids can step on the mat and the match could be over within a minute.
We had kids from 4 different gyms come along and each child had one, and some had two matches of 3 minutes each. If there was a submission or lack of action, they would get stood up and re set to go again.
I’m on a quest to build my kids team and if they choose to compete in the bigger competitions, I’ll be there to support them along the way.
The kids had so much fun yesterday and can’t wait to do this again!

Well done to everyone who came along to our very first Kids BJJ inter club Southend Street Gym
16 children took part and gained tonnes of competition experience today for the first time. Coming from 4 different gyms around Essex and Kent.
Thank you to all the coaches and parents who brought their children along. Well done to those who were almost not going to compete, but put their brave head on, felt the fear, did it anyway and had an amazing time.
We raised £170 for the All Mighty Youth charity and every penny will be going directly to the charity.
Thank you to Ricardo for making the mat space available today. Your support in helping us raise money and give the kids valuable experience is greatly appreciated.
I’m sure everyone went away today buzzing. I certainly did. For those who couldn’t make today, I will plan another later in the year for sure.
Thank you everyone 🙏🏼

Why do I teach and train in Jiu Jitsu?
Passing a skill on to others is one of the most fulfilling part of my week.
Martial arts has helped me gain confidence and build resilience throughout my life.
If it can help one child, then that’s my why….
