Northwest Medal Haul!

So its been a busy weekend again for Checkmat South shields. this time we were in Liverpool for the Grab&Pull North West Open 2013.

Me and 3 other Team mates (Shaun Scott, Gareth Wright & Wayne Peel) make the trip to compete in both Gi & No Gi on the day and in total bringing home 7 medals between us. 4 Golds & 3 Silvers.

It was a really big day for me as i knew i was up against my Nemesis Mollie Rose Baxter who over the Last year i have fought numerous times at loads of different competitions and have always failed to beat her, by a small amount of points.
I made it my mission to one day beat her in competition and today was that day!

Mollie is an awesome BJJ fighter, training from a young age and at the age of 17 years old has always dominated the BJJ Competition scene in the UK at both White & Blue belt level, and is considered one of the best female Grappler's in the UK at her level.




































It is always a pleasure to be up against Mollie and fight her at competitions, as her game is very technical, no stalling and pinning you till the clock runs down so you can always guarantee a good fight when up against her. 
So today i wasn't going to let it happen, i wanted a Gold medal and i know what i had to do to get it....Beat her...

So i tried my hardest and hard work pays off.  :D
