Meet Victor: Episode 1 of Road to Euros 2025

Welcome to the first episode of Road to Euros 2025! Over the next 12 weeks, we’ll take you behind the scenes as our team trains for the 2025 IBJJF Gi Europeans in Lisbon. Each week, we’ll share a new story from our gym, showing how we prepare, learn, and grow together.

This week, we’re kicking things off with Victor. He’s a blue belt with big goals and even bigger determination. Last year’s Euros didn’t go the way he wanted. “The last Gi Europeans were just horrible” he admits. But instead of giving up, Victor used it as motivation.

Since then, he’s been working hard to fix those mistakes. He’s improved all around and built more confidence in his game.

Right now, we’re in the offseason block of our 12-week plan. This means the focus is on building a strong base—working on submissions and positional control. As we get closer to the competition, the volume and intensity will pick up.

Victor knows what’s ahead won’t be easy. But he’s ready to push himself.

Watch Episode 1 on YouTube to hear more from Victor and see how we’re preparing for the challenge ahead. Let us know what you think, and stay tuned for next week’s episode as we introduce another member of the team!
