Competitions: The Greater Manchester Open
A huge well done to our GBK’s who headed over to Manchester this weekend for the Greater Manchester Open!
For some of our GBK students, this was their first competition, and we’re really proud of the work you’ve put in preparing! Win or lose, we’re so proud of every member at the academy who competes, and the lessons that are taken away from each match are priceless in each person’s jiu jitsu development.
Well done to Bryn, Arthur, Niamh and Finlay!
A Growth Mindset Talk By Hard Yard Training Systems
We were delighted to welcome Dean from Hard Yard Training Systems to the academy to deliver a fantastic talk to our GBK students on Growth Mindset.
This is something we discuss regularly as part of our Word of the Week class segments, and we were really lucky to get Dean’s thoughts on the topic, too!
