Myriad News
Welcome to the Myriad Newsletter! As we celebrate our 2nd year anniversary, we are excited to introduce our new short and sweet monthly newsletter. We cover all things Myriad such as gym updates, member milestones and more! After a packed couple of months there is much for us to reflect on and celebrate…
A note from the us:
Whilst reading over the final draft of this Newsletter it quickly became clear that the theme is gratitude. “Thanks” or “Thank you” is used in almost every paragraph. As we reflected on our journey so far its you, our members, who we are celebrating.
Summer 2026 at Myriad
Belt-tastic!
Our Under 16’s Summer grading was a smashing success as 75 of our members were awarded belts. We are proud of our young grapplers and their progress this year. A big thank you to everyone who came out in the heatwave to make the celebration so fun.
Full time Legend and part-time Myriad Coach Leon was awarded his Purple Belt in July. Myriad members Anthony and Shaun were awarded Blue Belts in June. This makes Myriads total belt count for 2026 ~SO FAR~ 3!!!
Intro Course
In July we had our first Intro to BJJ Course which was a rolling success! Our third Intro to BJJ Course began last week and has been the largest co-hort yet. Myriad member Matt has been a wonderful teacher. Now we are thrilled to have part-time Coach Tom take over during Matt’s paternity leave.
Myriad Over 16’s In House Summer Comp
We had an awesome time at our second ever In House Competition at the end of June, a big thank you to everyone who competed and brought their all to the mats.
It has been a joy to see our Adult classes expand over the Summer, from our new purple and blue belt members, to welcoming graduates from our new Intro Course.
Team Myriad
Welcome our newest coach Natalia Drummond
Thanks to everyone for welcoming Natalia Drummond who joined us as Coach in July. Natalia is a 3rd Degree BJJ Black Belt with 14 years of coaching experience with children and adults. As a mum to two young girls, she has a deep appreciation for how children learn, grow, and build confidence. Natalia’s favourite thing about coaching? “Seeing how differently everyone learns and reacts. My goal is to help each student understand the logic behind Jiu-Jitsu rather than just memorising techniques”. See more about her on our team page here.
Team Myriad: Next Gen
We are so proud to have Kyra, Kaydeen and Zach teach with us. We wanted to give them a shoutout to thank them for all their excellent work assisting the under 12’s and teens classes. They all competed over Summer and we love watching their BJJ journeys!
