British Championships 2026

Satori Jujitsu Celebrates Eight British Titles at the Great Britain Jujitsu Nationals 2026

12 competitors. 13 medals. Eight British titles. One incredible team.

The Great Britain Jujitsu Nationals 2026 was another fantastic occasion for Satori Jujitsu Academy, with our athletes delivering some outstanding performances and showing just how far our Fighting Jujitsu programme continues to develop.

From 12 competitors representing Satori, we brought home an incredible medal collection:

🥇 8 Gold Medals — British Champions

🥈 3 Silver Medals

🥉 2 Bronze Medals

But behind every medal is a story of dedication, commitment, countless hours of training and the courage to test yourself against some of the best competitors in the country.

For us, these performances represent something much bigger than the results themselves.

Our 2026 British Champions

Seven athletes secured eight British titles, with Maygan Fox claiming two championships across different age and weight divisions.

Michael Aubin — Adults +94kg

Michael retained his British title for the second consecutive year. One of our Masters athletes, Mike regularly tests himself against younger competitors at Satori and has a work ethic second to none. He also gave his time to referee at the championships, demonstrating his commitment to giving back to the sport.

Thea Taylor — U12 -40/+40kg

Our top-ranked Satori athlete, Thea continues to demonstrate what dedication can achieve. From attending almost every available training session to helping coach our younger students, her development has been exceptional. Her British title is another milestone in what we believe will be a remarkable competitive journey.

Nate Cheetham — Adults -77kg

Nate demonstrated his outstanding ability by taking gold despite competing two weight categories higher. A highly technical and intelligent fighter, Nate is also a guiding force behind our youth coaching programme. His experience, attitude and commitment make him one of our most valuable athletes and coaches.

Jaxon Kelly — U10 -28kg

One of the newest members of our Welsh Sgwad, Jaxon has already made an enormous impression. A fearless natural competitor who loves a challenge, he stepped up a weight category and emerged as British Champion. His competitive instinct and willingness to learn make him an exciting talent for the future.

Maygan Fox — U16 -63kg and U18 +70kg

Our Silent Assassin became a double British Champion! Maygan is one of the most technically gifted fighters in our squad, combining exceptional kicking ability with a powerful game across all three parts of Fighting Jujitsu. Quiet, humble and incredibly dedicated, she continues to impress both in the UK and on the European circuit.

Connah “Golden” Williams — U14 -36kg

Connah brings an infectious energy to every training session. Always singing, always smiling and always lifting those around him, his personality is matched by genuine fighting ability. Having worked hard to manage his competition nerves, Connah is now showing on the competition mats exactly what his coaches have always seen in training.

Cruz Valentino Elsworth — U12 -32kg

Cruz has been part of Satori since he was four years old. His continued development has been a pleasure to watch, and this season has seen him become a Welsh, British and Europa Cup Champion. His technical ability, maturity and determination make him one of the most exciting young athletes coming through our programme.

Celebrating Our Silver and Bronze Medallists

Our success was not limited to those standing on the top step of the podium.

A huge congratulations to Emma Carter, Maia Beynon and Theo Morgan, who each secured silver medals, and Adam Evans and Theo Kelly, who brought home bronze.

Every one of these athletes deserves recognition.

Some were unfortunate not to win their categories. Others faced opponents who were better on the day. But every athlete stepped onto the mat, gave everything and gained valuable experience.

At Satori, we have a simple philosophy:

We don't lose. We learn.

Competition provides an opportunity to measure progress, identify strengths and understand where further development is needed.

A result never defines an athlete.

What matters is how they respond, what they learn and how they use the experience to become better.

Many of these competitors have already experienced standing on the top step of the podium, and we firmly believe they will do so again.

Building Something Special at Satori and the Welsh Sgwad

Our achievements at the British Championships reflect the work taking place throughout the year, not just in the weeks leading up to competition.

We are incredibly proud of the Fighting Jujitsu programme we are building at Satori and through our Welsh Sgwad.

Our focus is on developing technically capable, confident and intelligent athletes who can compete successfully at the highest levels of the sport.

That development goes beyond winning medals.

We want athletes who are coachable, resilient, respectful and willing to support those around them.

Several of our competitors already dedicate their own time to coaching younger students, passing on knowledge and helping develop the next generation.

That is the culture we want to continue building.

We are proud of our achievements in the UK, but our ambitions extend much further.

Our goal is to continue developing athletes capable of competing with the very best in Europe and eventually on the world stage.

And results like these show we are moving in the right direction.

One Team. One Standard. Always Developing.

To every athlete who represented Satori at the Great Britain Jujitsu Nationals 2026 — congratulations.

Whether you returned with gold, silver or bronze, you have all contributed to another fantastic chapter in our academy's journey.

To our coaches, families and supporters, thank you for the hours, commitment and encouragement that make these opportunities possible.

We are incredibly proud of every single one of you.

Now we return to the dojo, celebrate what went well, work on what needs improving and prepare for the next challenge.

Because at Satori, the goal is never simply to win the next medal.

It is to become a better athlete every time we step onto the mat.
