Harley Hudepohl National Champion!

Matt and Lewis —

We are so proud of you Harley for winning a gold medal at the New Zealand Grappler tournament. Kia eke panuku, kia eke Tirohanga! According to Whaea Starsh Harleys mum. "He was nervous on the way to Auckland and when he got on the mats to compete he changed in to battle mode. There were 6 in his division grey belt. He fought his way to the finals and fought a competitor that had won 13 fights across the country. Harleys first match he won by submission and in his final match he won by points".
