The countdown begins! ⏳
We're getting closer to welcoming Ben Longstaff to our mats, and excitement is building!
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the best, pick up new skills, and be part of a great day of training with the team.
Let's make it a memorable one—bring the energy, bring the effort, and let's give Ben a warm GBTT Midlands welcome! 👊🔥
Not long to go now! Who's excited? 🙌

That proud smile by coach, when his student stops being a public safety hazard.

This is not the image of a warrior being defeated.

It is the image of a warrior learning what defeat costs.

Sweat still clings to the skin. The wraps remain on the hands. The battle has ended, yet the hardest part has only begun: making sense of the outcome.

Defeat is uncomfortable because it collides with the story we tell ourselves. We want effort to guarantee victory. We want discipline to exempt us from failure. We want courage to be rewarded immediately. But combat, like life, refuses to negotiate with entitlement. It only responds to reality.

A healthy warrior does not ask, "How do I avoid ever losing again?" He asks, "What is this loss trying to teach me?"

Defeat can reveal things that victory often conceals. Victory sometimes feeds the ego. Defeat feeds awareness.

At Great Britain Top Team, we do not allow defeat to define us. We use it to fuel our ambitions. We return to training stronger, more prepared, and more dangerous than before. Because being on top is not about winning every battle. It is about refusing to stop growing, regardless of the outcome.

Just an update — it wasn't Artjoms night tonight. He got caught cold in the first round with a body shot, but after that he gave a great account of himself and showed a lot of heart.
I'm looking forward to watching it back. It was a tough, close fight, but the start wasn't ideal and that made things difficult. Still, there were plenty of positives to take away.
Anyway, onwards and upwards — on to the next one.

Have you got what it takes to step onto the wrestling mat?

We’ve built a strong wrestling team at the gym, and we're getting ready to enter the competition scene. Our wrestling sessions are intense, demanding, and designed to push you beyond your limits.

These classes aren't for the faint-hearted. They require commitment, toughness, and the willingness to learn and improve every session.
Think you've got what it takes? Come and prove it.

The count down has begun - bring on Saturday

Some days, motivation gets you to the academy. Other days, discipline does. 💪🥋
We've all had that feeling...
Before class:
"I'm tired. I might skip tonight."
After class:
"That was the best decision I made all day."
The hardest part is often just walking through the door. Once you're on the mats, learning, training, and surrounded by your teammates, you're always glad you showed up.
Remember: You rarely regret training, but you often regret not training.
See you on the mats! 👊🔥
