This Saturday, 19th August, there will be 4 Black belt head coaches from different gyms coming together to run an amazing seminar for a great cause at Ako Martial Arts.

We will be aiming to raise funds for fellow grappler and black belt Icaro Marques and his family after he was diagnosed with sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Pasha Stolyar, Steve Wade, Tyrone Coppedge, and our head coach Robbie Paraha will be running gi and nogi workshops from 10am to 1pm followed by an open mat. We will also have food and drink available on the day.

Let’s come together to support Icaro in his fight against cancer. Your contributions will make an enormous difference.

Had an awesome day training with some of our friends from Robinson Jiujitsu in Benalla. Thank you to Craig for organizing to catch up and donate to the “Help Icaro Beat Cancer Fund”. Approximately 70 Jiu Jitsu gyms around the country came together today in holding seminars to raise funds to assist Icaro in participating in clinical trials over in the U.S. We raised approximately $900 from our two clubs and had a ball doing Jiujitsu.

For those of you who would still like to donate, here is the link.

We started by talking about a little fundraiser and are now planning simultaneous seminars in every state and territory bringing the grappling community together for a great cause.
If you haven’t heard from us yet you’ll be hearing from us soon. Alternatively if you or your team would like to be part of an amazing event comment or PM James Jelley or Anton Harrison-Kern

We have a couple of Black Belts in our community that really need our help at the moment.
How would it be if we had a nation wide day of Black Belt seminars all happening at the same time, all raising money to help our friends in need?
Well it’s going to happen! On Saturday 5th of August all around the country. Together and yea we need your help we are going to run possibly the biggest grappling seminar weekend that has ever happened.
We have a bunch of gyms locked in already from just doing a bit of a quick message blast and a few phone calls but we need more. If you can support this effort by being a seminar coach (we envisage 4-8 at each location over a four hour window) or being a host gym or even rallying our community members please get in touch.
The concept is that a bunch of Black Belts teach a mini seminar or maybe just a single technique at each location. Entry by generous donation. Other fundraising efforts encouraged priot or on the day.
This is not limited to BJJ. All grappling arts encouraged to participate. Some locations may have a mix of Gi BJJ, No Gi BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, Sambo etc.
Please follow, share and get involved. ❤️🥋🤙🤼‍♀️
