Latest News: 40+ years of jiu-jitsu from Renger!

Our sensei Renger has been giving Jiu-jitsu training for over 40 years, which had to be celebrated! Therefore, we have invited as many of Renger's old students as possible to join us for his reunion training!

The training was a lot of fun, with a huge group consisting of many current members and old friends to both G.S.B.V. de Mattekloppers and Tsunami (Jiu-jitsu association from Leeuwarden). Some games were done, and some jiu-jitsu was practised. Good times only!

Afterwards, there was some time to freshen up before everyone was welcomed to join the barbecue. Many great memories were shared with many old connections from their jiu-jitsu years. Thoughtful presents were given to Renger as a thank you, and funny but beautiful speeches were held in honor of Renger. 

We would like to thank you all for coming to make the evening absolutely wonderful for both Renger and your fellow jiu-jitsukas! If you were not able to be there want to have an impression of the night, or if you were there want to relive this amazing evening, click on the pictures to be sent to the full photo collection!

Mattekloppers Triumph in Sheffield!

At the annual USIST tournament in Sheffield, the Mattekloppers 1 team once again clinched the gold medal, triumphing in every match. The final against Aachen, Germany was a nail-biter, showcasing our team's resilience and skill.

Although the Mattekloppers A team narrowly missed out on the bronze medal, their commendable fifth-place finish provided valuable experience and learning opportunities.

Reflecting on the event, the camaraderie among all 16 team members who traveled to Sheffield was truly inspiring.
