This was again an enjoyable and informative event held at a venue that has become a great symbol for the pride Wales takes in its sporting achievements, which is in appropriate reminder for us all of the mission to protect sport and the important values and ethics we associate with Ju-Jitsu and for the BJJAGB National Governing Body to be involved at the highest level.
