On Thursday, 20 Feb, three members of the Inglewood Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Academy from Inglewood Primary School travelled to Auckland to compete in the Oceania Open Jiu Jitsu Championship. Competitors from throughout the Oceania region including Australia, Tahiti, India, South Korea, Japan, and even Brazil competed in the Open. Courtney Valentine as well as Noah and Reid Dalliston where representing IPS. There were in excess of 130 clubs represented and competing and Inglewood Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Academy came 16th out of those more than 130 clubs - a magnificent achievement!

Sadly, on this occasion, neither Courtney or Reid managed to win a medal, however Noah Dalliston did win a Bronze medal in the no Gi competition. A fabulous effort against some very proficient opponents in his first international competition where thousands of competitors displayed their skill.

Rolling with our ‘Many hands make light work’ theory.
