Last night I had the privilege of awarding Braden Sweeney his Black Belt. He started training with me at the Geraldton PCYC as a 16 year over 11 years ago.

Early in 2020 Braden moved to Perth and continued his training under Leigh Burger as well as regularly seeking out and grappling with many of Perth brown and black belts.

As well as being a solid grappler with a well-rounded gi and no gi game he is an experienced coach with many years of assisting the planning and coaching in Geraldton as well as coaching in Perth. 

Congratulations Braden

I had the great pleasure of promoting long time students and friends Dave Ward and Kristoffer Nubla with BJJ black belts at our recent end of year grading.

Dave is an inspiration to all on our mat, as instructor and student alike. His tireless efforts and support to our club are testimony to his black belt character. 


Kris always brings the highest technical level and great passion to our mat. A wonderful martial artist both on and off the mat.

Dave and Kris are true black belts, dedicated athletes, generous with their knowledge and great human beings.

This weekend just past I had the privilege of being able to present Clay Shaw with his Black Belt.
Clay first stepped onto the BJJ mat 20 years ago and his dedication, perseverance and dogged commitment have earned him membership to a much-respected and closely-knit fraternity –
congratulations Clay!
Clay brings warmth and positivity to any mat he graces, he is all about contribution and guidance, a true teacher at heart.

Once again – a huge congratulations Clay – you are an inspiration.
