A Month of Medals and Belts
It has been a busy couple of months for Southampton Jiu Jitsu to close out the year, with something seemingly happening every weekend. But there have been a couple of major highlights which have proven conclusively that 2023 was a great year for the club.
First, major congratulations to our own Jonathan He for achieving bronze in the dark blue category at the annual Atemi Nationals. Held in Sheffield, the Atemis is the heart of what we do: a weekend of great training, tough competition and socialising with friends across the country. The next national event will be the Randori nationals in May 2024 - see you there?
But whilst we were still recovering, 7 of our members (2 adults and 5 juniors) were put through their paces at a grading, and we are pleased to announce a 100% pass rate! These accomplishments reflect the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of our members. Each belt represents not only a new level of expertise but also a commitment to continuous improvement in the art of Jiu Jitsu.
- Alex C: Promoted to Junior Yellow
- Alexis: Successfully achieved Yellow 1
- Chris: Achieved Orange 2
- Finn: Promoted to Junior Purple
- Isabel: Advanced to Junior Light Blue
- Simone: Attain Junior Yellow 1
- Zara: Earned her Junior Light Blue
Last session of the year will be Dec 21st, and we will return on Jan 4th. Until then, have a fantastic Christmas from everyone at Southampton Jiu Jitsu!
