Fight Sports at the London Open...

It's been a busy weekend for the old Northern Monkey and a major one for Fight Sports London, who competed as a team for the first time at the London Open at Crystal Palace over the weekend.

Forty students entered the event across the weekend and the team ended up in fifth place on the Saturday for the Gi event and finished a very impressive third place on the Sunday in the No Gi event.

A massive team effort all round both from competitors and supporters, who made themselves known in the stand throughout the whole competition, cheering the fighters on in all their matches.

Huge congrats to all the Fight Sports clubs for their hard work and dedication to training over the last few weeks, we can definitely hold our own with the larger academies in the UK and look forward to the next big London IBJJF event next year...we're comin' to get ya!
