Month in Review November | Progress Jiu Jitsu
Posted by Marc Berman on
November has been an extremely busy one for the Progress team! From making sure everything was in place to deliver a successful Black Friday event for you guys, to supporting the Progress competition team as they smashed it in Rome at No-Gi Euros, it’s been a packed month across the board for everyone. Here’s what’s happened…
IBJJF No-Gi Europeans 2025:
At the 2025 IBJJF No-Gi Europeans, we travelled to Rome to support all our athletes competing, and the team absolutely delivered. Marc Macqueen captured gold in the ultra-heavy division at brown belt, while Saul Rogers dominated his bracket with four straight submission victories. Julian added to the momentum by claiming his third No-Gi Europeans title, and Tarik Hopstock closed things out by earning his first major title at black belt. We couldn’t be prouder of how each athlete represented the brand, truly embodying what we stand for: “No struggle, No progress”.
M6 Lite Shoot:
The Progress content team spent a couple of days shooting around one of our newest signature products, the M6 Lite. The M6 Lite is the 7th edition of our legendary M6 Kimono, and even 14 years after creating our first gi we are still pushing innovation forward. It is the first gi of its kind to offer fully mix and match sizing and materials, allowing you to choose your jacket and trousers separately to build your own ideal competition setup. The jacket is strong yet lightweight, paired with your choice of Ripstop or Cotton pants, 100% IBJJF legal and ready for the mats.
Big shoutout to Isa, Rodrigo, Maab and Sean Coates for modeling the gear. We shot inside a tailors studio to highlight the custom fit concept behind the M6 Lite, capturing the idea that this gi is designed to be tailored to you through interchangeable jacket and pant sizing.
Progress Black Friday Event 2025:
We went live with our biggest Black Friday sale to date, dropping loads of new products for you guys and offering the best deals. Some standout releases included the Woodland Camo that sold out in just two days, the NSNP collection, and the long awaited return of Smoked Ink. We hope you got everything you needed. And for those who missed the woodland camo, you will be seeing it again sooner than you think. Keep an eye out.
That wraps up November for the Progress JJ team. Thanks for being part of an amazing month.
