Celebrating Ashton’s Dedication
We are thrilled to announce Ashton Turner as SBG Atlanta’s Kids Student of the Month for October 2024! Ashton, 13, joined our Kids Jiu Jitsu program in February 2022 and has quickly become a standout in our Jr. Gorillas Leadership Squad.
A Model of Leadership and Respect
Ashton has shown impressive growth in his skills and leadership qualities. Coach Shane highlights his passion for Jiu Jitsu and dedication to training, noting that Ashton’s commitment is so strong that his family made major life adjustments just so he could continue training after moving further away.
Ashton’s respectful demeanor stands out in every interaction. Coach Kaden says, “He’s the most respectful kid I’ve ever met—always polite and well-mannered, with ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ as part of his daily vocabulary.” Ashton’s ability to balance his personal challenges with consistent attendance at SBG Buford is a testament to his discipline and love for the sport.
Helping Others Grow
Ashton goes above and beyond his own development by contributing to the growth of others. He helps Coach Lawson with our Spiders Program by partnering with younger students and showing them the ropes, demonstrating what it means to be a true leader.
The SBG Kids Jiu Jitsu Program
