BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU BLACK BELT Not Taekwondo but still martial arts related so I thought I would share.  I’m happy and honoured to have been promoted to Jiu Jitsu black belt this week!  I gave myself a challenge many years ago to earn a second black belt, and now, after over a decade of training that dream has come true. This journey has been long and very challenging at times, but also amazing and so rewarding, I’m very grateful to receive this belt.  A massive thank you to my Instructor Rob, everyone at cardiffbjj and all my training partners over the years. The journey continues🥋

Quick update on our club t-shirts, the new design is out and all sizes will be available from next week. Please message me or come to see me in class for prices and orders 👍 Thank you NGTKD
