We’re incredibly proud to share some exciting news from the competition mats! Eleven of our young athletes from Greenwood Jiu Jitsu in Toronto recently competed in a youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament — and they absolutely showed what our team is all about: skill, heart, discipline, and resilience.
🥇 Our Medal Count
Out of 11 kids who represented Greenwood Jiu Jitsu:
- 🥇 3 Gold Medals
- 🥈 2 Silver Medals
- 🥉 2 Bronze Medals
Every student gave it their all and left everything on the mats. Whether they medaled or not, each child showed the true spirit of martial arts — focus, effort, respect, and determination.
💪 A Strong Showing Despite Setbacks
Two of our competitors unfortunately sustained minor injuries and couldn’t finish their divisions. While it was tough to see them unable to continue, we are incredibly proud of how bravely and skillfully they fought before stepping off the mats. Injuries are always a part of competition sports, and both kids showed incredible composure, maturity, and spirit — we know they’ll come back stronger than ever.
“We don’t just coach to win medals — we coach kids to become stronger humans,” says Coach Chris, who was mat-side supporting every match.
🧠 What Kids Learn Through Competition
At Greenwood, we believe Jiu Jitsu is about more than just technique — it’s about building confidence, focus, and resilience in our students.
Tournaments offer a unique opportunity for kids to:
- Test their skills under pressure
- Learn how to win with humility and lose with grace
- Work through nerves, challenges, and unexpected situations
- Support teammates and build strong friendships
Win or lose, every student grows through the experience — and that’s what truly matters.
