John Mee - new Albury/Wodonga BJJ Black Belt
After almost 12 years of training, AWBJJ head instructor Tony Morris, with the endorsement of John Will awarded John his well earned BJJ Black Belt.
John is a central part of our club and sets the standard both on and off the mat with his attention to detail, high work ethic and ability to lead and teach. He is a pleasure to be around and summed up the BJJ journey well when he said "I guess now I've got to start all over again".
It was great to see 26 on the mat for the occasion and our club will now have 4 Black Belts regularly on the mat.
Congratulations John enjoy your new rank.

One of Australia’s newest Black belts - Queensland’s Matthew Cugola, has been training for many years under the guidance of the excellent Vincent Perry from Burleigh Heads.

Best respectClay Shaw BJJ Black Belt
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.
