"May you find comfort in knowing that Jahvon left a massive, positive impact on all of us and will never be forgotten."
- Master Bedlow. Fu Jau
"Jahvon, I will miss you brother. You raised everyone's game around you and was a humble warrior."
- Coach Berry. Fu Jau
Jahvon's final fight was a testament to his unwavering determination and exceptional skill. In three intense rounds, both fighters sought the coveted title, showcasing their excellence in technique and prowess. Ultimately, it was Jahvon's integrity, perseverance, and the essence of Fu Jau flowing through his veins that secured the victory.
Although this marked his last fight, Jahvon's legacy endures, inspiring young individuals to believe in themselves and their potential while cultivating their development as Martial Artists. His teachings emphasize the profound significance of controlling aggression without causing harm — an embodiment of the "Art of Peace".
In the realm of martial arts, the ultimate goal is to master the art of controlling aggression. Achieving this requires instilling values of respect, humility, and essential life and social skills. Across all forms of martial arts, there exists a foundation built on tradition and discipline, encapsulated in the powerful term, "Osu."
Post-Covid, the victory felt like a hard-won battle. Jahvon's return to the mats was marked by a contagious confidence and enthusiasm. On the day of his comeback, he messaged me in alarm, thinking he had missed his spot, urging me to wait. I stood there like a statue until Jahvon called to reassure me and urged me to still come. I jumped into the car, driving like Fred Flintstone, desperate not to miss witnessing him compete again.
Seeing Jahvon back in his element was nothing short of amazing. He had returned with a newfound maturity, revealing a strength that spoke to the collective resilience of all who had endured the pandemic. Crossing to the other side, we all bore witness to the transformation that had taken place.
What an extraordinary tournament, a precursor to the impending 2020 Covid storm! Marlon and Jahvon, described as "brothers from another mother" by Marlon himself, were exceptional Fu Jau Warriors. It was a rare moment where two warriors came together, both desiring victory equally, yet demonstrating profound respect for each other. This respect is the true test and mark of an honorable Fu Jau member.
Fu Jau has always felt like more than a club; it's a family and much more. The influence of Master Bedlow's calm and composed spirit defines the essence of Fu Jau. The respect shown by everyone at Fu Jau and within the martial arts arena is a testament to a sport destined for the Olympics. We dearly miss this special bond but will forever cherish our lifelong friendships with Marlon and the Fu Jau Family.

Being active is a key part of having a balanced lifestyle.
I think all children and adults should do martial arts it's more than just about being fit. It's about being disciplined, focused and a role model in your community . You don’t have to be a competitive champion to be successful with the martial arts and there are few other sports that can say the same.

WUMA was set up in 1989 by Richard Hopkins. Richard
felt that himself and many Instructors around the UK were being treated badly in many ways with the old Instructor system in a financial way and a moral way, a person can only take so much from those above so hence the WUMA Federation was formed. The new WUMA Federation decided to look after the instructors in every way possible.
The federation grew and grew and now has over 1200 registered schools and around 28,000 members in the UK. Over 67 Countries have now affiliated and we are truly established within the world of Martial Arts. We feel that our success is due to the fact that we care.
We feel that we offer much more to Students, Instructors & Associations with a No Politics' attitude.
Through the years the Federation has had many successes in major tournaments. WUMA Website | World United Martial Arts Federation

Watching your son's first ring tournament is simultaneously the most terrifying and exhilarating feeling in the world, akin to their early attempts at walking when you're torn between letting them go and reaching out to steady their wobbles.
The atmosphere was truly remarkable, amplified by the constant shouts of "Fu Jau," contributing to the overall outcome and the profound sense of achievement that Jahvon experienced in this incredibly proud moment. #FuJau4Life. OSU
Jahvon's journey is now well on its way. After the Fu Jau Interclub Tournament in 2011, Jahvon's next victories came in 2012. Going from strength to strength. His ability to hold his kicks resulted in this iconic image which was to later become the J-Edo Logo.
Jahvon's fascination with Martial Arts found its roots in the influence of his uncles, Jason and Tim, who shared their love for anime cartoons like Dragon Ball Z. At the age of 8, he stepped into a Martial Arts Academy, achieving his purple belt before joining Fu Jau at the age of 15. Jahvon marked his entry into the Fu Jau Interclub Tournament at the age of 18.
Throughout his journey, Jahvon consistently displayed traits of composure, professional showmanship, and unwavering integrity in every tournament he participated in. As a mother, it was both an honour and a nerve-racking experience to watch him. However, over time, the anxiety eased as his solid defense became apparent, making me increasingly proud of his accomplishments.
Jahvon always committed to training, even outside of the Fu Jau classes!
One of Jahvon's iconic moves, watch out for it in his tournaments, see if you can spot "The Superman"!
