THE 4 Honor jiu-jitsu club in Bantry recently came back from the European Championships in Portugal with three gold medals (won by Kawan Azeredo, Juliana Taparica and Mariana Ribeiro) and one bronze medal (Karel Bubnik).
What's more, they then won a further two gold medals at the Dublin Open last weekend curtosy of Kawan Azeredo and Juan Barcellos.
Back home, the club also does an outreach program where they do self-defence and jiu-jitsu classes in schools around West Cork.
Club founder Barry O’Donovan and coach Guilherme Alencar catch up with Matthew Hurley this week to talk about the recent highs and their beginnings.
