NorthSouth Fight Sports: A Weekend to Remember
This past weekend marked a milestone for NorthSouth Fight Sports as we officially opened our doors with a weekend full of energy, camaraderie, and free classes. Our soft opening was a celebration of community, wellness, and the pursuit of greatness.
A Heartfelt Start
We began each morning with a quick prayer, expressing our gratitude for the opportunity to create a space for fitness, learning, and connection. This set the tone for a meaningful and exciting weekend ahead. To keep everyone energized, refreshments were served throughout the day, adding to the welcoming and festive atmosphere.
Free Classes for All
To showcase the variety of disciplines we offer, we hosted an array of free classes that brought together participants of all skill levels. From calming yoga sessions to adrenaline-pumping boxing and muay thai, there was something for everyone. The highlight for many was the BJJ open mats, where over 60 grapplers came together to share techniques, roll, and build friendships. The turnout was beyond what we could have hoped for, reflecting the strength and support of our growing community.
Community Building in Action
The weekend wasn’t just about physical activity—it was about forming connections. Participants bonded over shared experiences, learning new skills, and encouraging one another. Seeing seasoned athletes and first-timers train side by side was a powerful reminder of what NorthSouth stands for: inclusivity, growth, and resilience.

Spectator’s Awe: BJJ from the Sidelines
Spectator’s Awe: BJJ from the Sidelines
by Rio Christine Anonuevo (Oct 2024)
Before I met my husband, Jiujitsu was an unfamiliar sport to me. Growing up, like many, I was familiar with common sports such as Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, and Basketball, to name a few. But Jiujitsu? Who even practiced Jiujitsu back then? It wasn’t the kind of sport you’d easily find at school or in the local gym in the early 2000s
That changed when I met my husband. I watched him dedicate countless hours to Jiujitsu. He wasn’t just attending one class a day; he was doing two, sometimes even more, and would schedule our dates around his BJJ sessions. I distinctly remember asking him early on in our relationship, back in 2017, “Ano bang meron diyan sa Jiujitsu?” His go-to answer was, “Masaya ako sa Jiujitsu. It changed my life.”
From then on, I couldn’t help but wonder: What is it about this sport?
Over time, I found myself watching training sessions, attending competitions, and even joining belt promotions and general assemblies. I learned about the gentle art of Jiujitsu from the sidelines, supporting not only the man I love but also the friends we made along the way.
Most recently, I attended an event at Ayala Mall Circuit, where more than 500 Jiujitsu practitioners gathered to celebrate their hard-earned progress. Bruises, sweat, body aches, and even mental exhaustion all led to that day when they could reap the rewards of their hard work.
Once again, I found myself asking: What is it about this sport that makes people fall in love with it?
1. A Newfound Family on the Mats
The kind of family you build through Jiujitsu is unbreakable, even though you're not connected by blood. It’s the countless hours spent rolling on the mats, practicing techniques, sparring with teammates, failing, and learning together that creates a bond like no other. These shared experiences forge a family-like connection between practitioners.
These are the people who will go through life with you, both on and off the mats. They inspire you to be better, will stick their neck out for you, and even answer your call at 2 AM when you need a friend the most. They become loved ones you’ll hold onto for life.
2. A Path to Your Version 2.0
Beyond physical fitness, BJJ transforms your entire being. I’ve seen how it has shaped my husband into someone I deeply admire. This isn’t the kind of growth you learn in school or the workplace. Each practice session teaches you to handle pressure and strengthens your mind, helping you overcome challenges in every area of your life.
It teaches you to remain calm and composed under stress and humbles you in both victory and defeat—not just in the gym but in every part of life: at work, at home, everywhere. Imagine feeling frustrated countless times, yet still finding the resolve to show up again, calm and determined. That’s the version of yourself that Jiujitsu hones.
3. The Door is Open to Everyone
One of the most beautiful things about Jiujitsu is its inclusivity. It brings people together, regardless of age, gender, or body type. Jiujitsu is a shining example of how martial arts can truly be for everyone. I’ve seen how it makes everyone feel accepted and brings pure joy to those on the mat.
At its core, Jiujitsu is about community. Teammates help one another improve by sharing knowledge and pushing each other to grow, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner. This sense of belonging is inclusive, welcoming everyone with open arms. Some train for self-defense, others for competition, fitness, or personal growth. Regardless of the reason, the Jiujitsu community celebrates each person’s journey.
As a spectator, BJJ never fails to amaze me. Watching it is like witnessing a beautiful, intricate dance of strategy and strength. I can only imagine how much more exciting it must be for those who actually step onto the mats, feeling the thrill of every move, the challenge of each roll, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with personal growth.
Note from Northsouth: Much gratitude to Rio Christine who is part of the Jiujitsu Family. You are awesome :)
The Origin of NorthSouth Fight Sports: "Where Discipline Breeds Greatness"
September 2024
The story of NorthSouth Fight Sports began during one of the most challenging periods in history—the 2020 pandemic. With gyms closed, we had to find creative ways to stay physically active and mentally sharp. Our solution was to transform our garage into a training space, laying down puzzle mats and inviting a small, close-knit group of jiujitsu teammates to join us. We named it "Garage Jiujitsu."
As time went on, we relocated our training sessions to another home, where we had access to high-quality mats, weights, and even a squat rack, creating the perfect environment for training. Our kids joined us as well, turning jiujitsu into a family activity that kept us all grounded. For two years, we maintained our training bubble, finding comfort in our small community and shared passion for the sport.
Then, during a casual training session, Coach Brendo shared his vision with the team: "To open a jiujitsu gym by 2025." What began as lighthearted banter has now become a reality with NorthSouth Fight Sports, a place where "Discipline Breeds Greatness."
Today, NorthSouth Fight Sports offers not only Jiujitsu but also Taekwondo, Zumba, Boxing, and Muay Thai—providing something for everyone, regardless of your fitness journey. One of our core missions is to prioritize Kids’ Classes, aiming to develop young talent and instill the values of discipline and resilience.
If you're looking for a gym that fosters personal growth and community, where you can train in martial arts, build fitness, and help your kids become the best version of themselves, NorthSouth Fight Sports is the place to be.
Join us soon as we officially open and be part of this exciting journey where fitness, passion, and excellence come together.
