Filipino fighter Godwin Langbayan secured a bronze medal in the men's 62kg ju jitsu fighting class at the SEA Games 2025.

The gold and silver medals in the event were won by Thai athletes Suwijak Kuntong and Naphat Mathupan, respectively, with Vietnam's Dao Hong Son taking the other bronze.
In another ju jitsu event, Elijah Philippe Claravall was eliminated in the men's 77 kg quarterfinals by Indonesia's Artz Brilliant Perfecto.
