🥈 A couple of silver medals to start our October update!
Last weekend I competed at the National Masters Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships, taking Silver in my Masters 4 Black Belt Heavyweight division and then another Silver in the Absolute division.
Competing is always a good reminder that, however long you've been training, there is still plenty to work on and improve. I think it's important that our students see that their instructors are still training, testing themselves and putting themselves outside their comfort zone too.
You can read a little more about my competition in our October ZKS Newsletter, which is now live.
There's also plenty of important information for ZKS families this month, including October and half-term dates, Student Reviews, our Parent Open Day, Sunday training, Leadership Team applications and the Havoc Grappling Promotion Night.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support ZKS — and particularly to our students who keep turning up, training and working towards their next goal.
