We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Filip on his fantastic achievement over the weekend in Winning Gold in his first ever tournament of Jiu-jitsu.

Filip has always been a very active person and has always dreamed of gaining an achievement in sport. In the past, Filip has tried a lot of different sports, like Football, Judo and Boxing, but all of these were not right for him. After a few weeks of training, he was never really interested in going back, but after starting Jiu-jitsu he has never looked back.

When Filip heard there was a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu club (ACTJJ UK) he decided to try it. After the first session, Filip came home and said that he really enjoyed it and was really looking forward to another training session. Since then, Filip has progressed and has trained 4 days a week for the last 3 and half months and is really enjoying it. Filip really likes his trainer Luciano Junior and his team and always pays close attention to every word and advice they are giving him.

On Saturday 15th June, Filip was invited to take part in the All Stars BJJ Midlands Pro 2024 tournament in Coventry. This was a big accomplishment for Filip and he came away with the prize, winning his first Gold Medal. His trainer and his teammates were very supportive throughout it all and Filip really liked that during his fight everyone around was screaming his name in great spirit and showing their support.

Filip is really proud of his first achievement and states "This is just the beginning for me."

As an Academy, we are very proud of Filip and seeing him progress and achieve something he really enjoys.
