Hi all.

A quick update with regards to The Bristol Open taking place on Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March.

We have four fighters going over to fight with two of those having recently fought in the Europeans in Lisbon, Portugal.

Matt Norris, who managed to get a Silver in the Blue Belt Absolutes in Portugal will be fighting for the first time as a purple belt. This is going to be a big step up for Matt but having done so well as a blue belt, we think this is something he is going to relish.

Russell Allchin who reached the quarter finals in Lisbon will be fighting again and is looking forward to another successful competition.

We also have two white belts entering the competition.

Matt Delauney will be taking part in his first BJJ competition although he has taken part in other competitions outside of BJJ.

Last but not least fighting from GBCI is Leigh Le Blancq. This will be Leigh’s first BJJ competition.

We will keep you posted with the results so please visit back later or leave your name in the boxes provided at the top of the page where we can email you as soon as the results are in.

For anyone interested, here is a link to a very detailed set of rules for this weekends event.

Everyone at the club wishes all fighters the very best of luck in the event and hope they come away knowing they have fought well and have added more valuable experience to their BJJ arsenal.
