On June 13th, 2026, the BJJ community came together for something truly special — a fundraiser seminar and open mat at Hybrid Martial Arts, Poole.
The event featured elite instruction from Steve Newman, followed by an hour of open mat rolling — all in support of building a regenerative farm and Jiu Jitsu academy for children in the Philippines.
The community showed up. And together, we raised ₱85,000 for Little Warriors.
