Check out our Online Articles page for Luke's latest article, a history of the legendary Gracie family of Brazil.

Last weekend saw competition for a local martial arts club on 2 fronts, with members of Beston Gracie West Coast Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competing in Perth, as well as the Australian Champions Cup held in Melbourne.

Local heavyweight, Matt Douthwaite, won a wildcard entry to compete in the national level event on the east coast. The competition saw Matt compete in both, his weight division and the 'absolute' or open weight. The weeks of hard work and dedication paying off with his return to the club after winning a gold and silver medal making Matt the clubs first national champion.

Closer to home 4 other members took part in a Perth Shooto competition to qualify for an Australia vs Japan fight night in November. Luke Delaveris, Tim Fraser, Blake Glossop and Keith Hitchcock fought under the Japanese rules allowing full strikes while standing and continuing to the ground under submission grappling guidelines.

The event, held at the state Muay Thai centre, saw Blake and Luke succumb to skilful opponents by submission in the first round while the club heavyweights both contended their matches over the 6 minute duration with Tim losing an extremely close decision and Keith coming away the victor.

Luke, Blake, Keith & Tim with Coaches Taff & Gav

The local boys represented their club well and are continuing to train hard for the state titles to be held in October.

Matt (West Coast) took Silver in the No-Gi, and Gold in the Gi, Sparkle (Newcastle) took Gold in the Blur Belt No-Gi Absolute and Silver with the Gi, and Central Coast phenom Big Ben won 2 Bronze Medals and a silver.

Well done and thanks to the 3 competitors who all trained extremely hard and made a lot of sacrifices in their preparation for this tournament. Thanks and well done also to all the coaches (Ben, Steve, Taff, Gav, Lucozade, Matrat, Simon, Sparkle) and the entire pool of skilled training partners who helped our athletes prepare. Special thanks to Coach Paul "Matrat" who was there on the day to coach the competitors.

Another fantastic day on the mat for our competitors, fighting as part of Prof. Bruno's Gracie Sydney team.
