Huge Congrats to professor Michael Hawkins for clocking in the time spent in this game. 9years at black thus far, and may we still be standing shoulder to shoulder in another five, to see him achieve the next promotion.

Massive thanks to Daniel Strauss for making time to promote prof Hawkins tonight, and say a few heart felt words for his dear friend and long time training buddy.

Great night of training 👌

See you all at comp sparring this Saturday morning 🤙🏻

Another awesome promotion night in the bag! Everyone has been training extremely hard and sharpening their game, both in the academy, and in competition.

It's always an honour to see the hard work lead to promotions. I know everyone at the academy always puts their best foot forward when they are on the mats and gives 100%.

Its a pleasure and a blessing to have such a hard working team and an awesome knowledge base of professors to learn from. Each bringing their own unique style and expertise.

Congrats to .kenward Tom Balashev Rupert Spencer-Smith Роман Парадеев Stephen Stewart Elliot Browning Twinkle W. Ben Ghahi on levelling up tonight. May your new belt journey enrich you with ever more knowledge and experience. 💪🏽🤙🏻

Keep up the great work. See you all back on the mats, in preparation for our next competition.

Only one competitor took part today from our academy. Just getting more experience and stacking up those wins. Huge congrats to Simon Roth for a dominant performance today in the Gi division.

Huge props to Ben Mann for his help on the day too and now looking forward to getting everybody ready for a big team outing for English Open BJJ Championships in November.

A great day out watching fights, coaching and catching up with good friends from other academies. Seeing Simon bring home the Gold was the cherry on the top.

We had an absolute blast yesterday with some of the team EJO

Big props to all who competed and great to see those who came down to support.

For some it was their first competition, yet everyone went out there and gave it their all.

A few losses, a few wins, but a great day out, with huge smiles, laughs and good amounts of data collected to work with.

Thanks to all for stepping up and repping the team!

No doubt some of us will be back on it for AllStars Capital in a few weeks, IBJJF Europeans in Rome, and then, again, for the English Open to see out the year.

Total medal count was 1xBronze, 6xSilver and 2xGold over 5 competitors on the day.💪🏽🤙🏻

Our very own showing us his favourite submission. This cross collar choke from behind the opponents knee shield is one to look out for.

When knee cutting through the guard its often you'll be met with a knee shield. Instead of expending energy trying to clear the knee shield Liam chooses to set a deep cross collar grip and finish the fight from top.

The opponent does nothing and is too late to defend so liam will get the tap. If the opponent tries to defend he could give up the underhook and therefore the pass.

Working the threat of the choke to get the underhook and vica versa is a great way to keep the opponent defending and enabling you to get at least one of the two options available.

Get the guard pass, or get the sub!!!

Do you use the classic Cross Collar Choke? If so, from where do you prefer to apply the submission?

What an absolutely crazy weekend for these two guys literally just stepped off the plane from having competed at the ibjjf venice and straight back into the fire alongside who was competing in 3 different Gi and NoGi divisions.

Mario went on to beat all his opponents over 4 fights, with four absolutely dominant points wins. Even though he won all his fights the scoring system only allowed him to place 3rd overall. The others on the podium finished some of their fights by submission which scores higher in the rules of Grappling Industries.

Huge congrats to Mario for always bringing exciting engagements in competition along with keeping a clean undefeated score sheet on the day. Absolute Beast🤙🏻💪🏽

Harrison fought in three different divisions really putting himself out there especially in the All Levels division losing only one fight by footlock against a higher level opponent. Totally dominating the two divisions and therefore managing to secure two Golds and one silver on the day.

Huge props to both these guys for always stepping up and challenging themselves, repping the team and gathering data to always work on, making them better for next time.

This sport isn't easy.....! You can only achieve success when you put in the hard work and consistency. There are No shortcuts!

Last weekend .soper7 and flew over to the beautiful Italy for the Venice Jesolo International Open.

They all cane up against some serious opponents and tough battles in both Gi and NoGi.... after a weekend of some tough rounds and exciting performances the boys managed to achieve 1 x Gold, 1 x Silver and 2 x Bronze medals.

The adults division was truly fierce but the boys managed to get onto the podium, whilst Ben 'Benito Mussolini' Ghahi totally dominated his division in masters to become the Venice Champion and supreme dictator on the mats.

They are all back and training again. The hard work never stops, and they are an inspiration to us all, to challenge ourselves each and every day.

I'll keep you posted with this weekends competitions and results at Grappling Industries with straight back into the fire and Harrison competing in Gi, NoGi and Absolutes. Its going to be a hell of a day. Good luck lads, and go have fun out there🙏🤙🏻💪🏽

So the boys are off on their next romantic weekend, courtesy of

Guaranteed, some strong battles ahead.... but no matter what the outcome the journey to Venice will have been a game changer.
soper7 will look like a bitcoin millionaire after he bags another Gold, would have learned how to operate a traditional venetian gondola, and would have lost enough weight that he could compete at light feather. He did well to get that pre pregnancy body back. 🫶🏼💪🏽

Good luck lads, we're all rooting for you. Rest up before the battles commence. 🤙🏻

If IBJJF did romantic weekends, they'd be the best romantic weekends by far.

Another &Setups. This time with Prof Daniel Key from who shows us a lovely set up into omoplata along with a great variation to finish when your opponent resists and can't be put flat to the floor.

How do you prefer to finish your omoplata?

An absolutely amazing and inspirational weekend watching these 3 warriors head onto the battlefield and sharpen their craft.

It really does go to show what hard work, consistency and a passion can really do.

These guys push themselves out of their comfort zone day in day out. But when it comes to stepping up, under the spot lights, and in front of the crowds, they have left nothing to chance and its truly down to the best man on the day.

The performances by all three of our competitors were outstanding, clinical and well executed. It was a pleasure and honour to watch them compete.

One of them even completing a total of 11 fights in one afternoon.

Truly inspiring! Thanks to for having us and putting on a great event. Huge props to all the coaches on the day

Thank you to the warriors on the day for putting on such exemplary performances, and for all the hard work you all put in. .paradeev

3 x Gold Medals 🏅
