Gold medal for the Demolition Man!
The Demo Man is back!!
Huge congrats to student Lee ‘Demolition Man’ James on his gold medal win at the Manchester Open at the weekend; all the hard work on the mats at Heywood and at the Open Mats at Combat Base Bolton were rewarded with the gold medal.
Competing in the blue belt Ultra Heavy division, Lee faced Bellator veteran Karl Etherington, a huge guy with deadly Judo skills, a tough first match for anyone. Lee weathered an initial attack from Karl and the fight went to the ground; in under two minutes Lee submitted Karl with one of his favourite chokes from side control, a superb start to the day.
Lee’s second match ended up the same as the first one, with Lee managing to get in a big kata garuma throw, that he’s been itching to get in a comp for quite some time and finished the match old school style with a closed guard kimura.
Brilliant performance from Lee and all down to a team effort from all the lads at the club, who have all helped contribute to Lee’s gold medal; I’m over the moon for Lee and his medal, as well as all my students in helping build a strong team of competitors, everyone helping each other get the best out their training sessions.

Grab and Pull Blackpool Open
Apologies for the lack of new posts on the website, it’s still business as usual and in August the club travelled to sunny Blackpool to compete at Gus Oliveira’s BJJ competition that was held at the Tower Ballroom. This has to be the best venue for a UK competition, a massive room, plenty of seats and a bar that started serving beer at 11am A fine day of BJJ all round and I got to referee the kid’s which was great fun; a good show of medals from the team with sliver medals for Lee James and Harry Lockwood and bronze medals for Will Aston, Tim Wilson and Liam Holt.
Medals at the Manchester Open!
A great result for the competition team, who competed at the Grab and Pull Manchester BJJ Open last Saturday; the event was organised by Gus Oliveira and was well attended with belts at all levels competing at the event. After an action packed day of top quality jiu jitsu, the fight team walked off with three gold, three silver and six bronze medals, a superb effort from everyone. With competitions every month of the year, the fight team is back on the mats, preparing for the next competition; anyone wishing to come down and join the club and start training, take a look on the classes section on the site, or send an email to combatbasebolton@hotmail.co.uk for more details.
