Congratulations to Gregory on earning his Gracie Combatives Belt!👊
He's always cheerful, always ready to train, and if you've spent any time around Emerald, there's a good chance you've spotted him out for a jog before class!
One thing that stands out about Greg is his curiosity. He doesn't just want to learn a technique, he wants to understand it. He's not afraid to ask questions, explore details, and test concepts to deepen his understanding.
That mindset is invaluable in Jiu Jitsu. It creates great discussions, encourages learning, and often reminds us why the fundamentals are so important in the first place.
Congratulations, Greg. We are incredibly proud of your progress and excited to welcome you to Master Cycle.
Please help us congratulate Greg on this fantastic milestone! 👏

If the walls could talk, what would they say? They’d say that Mark is basically part of the furniture here. Like so many at Ranges, he dedicates his time to improving himself and those around him.
Your continued growth and understanding of the art and its leverage without strength is wonderful to witness.
Congratulations Mark on your 4th stripe!

The Triple Threat has arrived. 🥋
Congratulations to Manny, Binesh and Lincoln on earning their Gracie Combatives Belts!
A Triple Threat may be a Jiu Jitsu technique, but it's also a fitting way to describe these three gentlemen.
Always smiling. Always respectful. Always eager to learn.
Each of them has put in the time, shown consistency, and embraced the process. They represent what we're proud to call the Ranges way; train collaboratively, stay humble, support your teammates, and keep showing up.
Belts aren't awarded for a single great class. They're earned through countless classes, repetitions, questions, challenges and small improvements along the way.
Manny, Binesh and Lincoln, we're incredibly proud of your achievement and excited to welcome you into Master Cycle.
The next chapter starts now.
Please join us in congratulating these three on a well earned milestone! 👏👏👏

One of the simplest skills we can teach our kids… is often one of the most overlooked.
This week, our students have been learning the clinch - understanding how to manage distance, close the gap while protecting the face, and finish in a position of control.
Distance management might sound simple, but it’s a fundamentally important skill in self defence. Knowing when to create space, when to close the distance, and how to stay calm while doing it matters.
That’s the beauty of teaching kids Jiu Jitsu; the lessons go beyond the technique itself.
If you’re a local family in Emerald or the surrounding hills and have been curious about what we do, come and see our kids classes in action. Chances are, you’ll find kids learning important life skills, building confidence, and genuinely enjoying themselves along the way.
