Ethan has been selected to represent EMMA (England Mixed Martial Arts) at the IMMAF World Championships in Serbia this February — an incredible achievement and a huge step forward in his MMA journey.

Ethan currently trains out of Centaur BJJ, KMT, and Peninsula Judo, where he is known for his hard work, discipline, and determination. He was recently promoted to orange/white belt in BJJ after winning gold at the IBJJF European No-Gi Championships in November, holds a green belt in judo, and has collected a number of Muay Thai belts along the way. He truly lives and breathes martial arts.

Unfortunately, EMMA does not currently have funding available to support athletes competing internationally. This means the cost of competing — including flights, accommodation, kit, and competition fees — falls entirely on the athletes and their families.

We are aiming to raise around £1000 to help get Ethan to Serbia so he can proudly represent England on the world stage.

At only 13 years old, Ethan has already proved himself as one of the UK’s most dedicated young martial artists. He gives 100% every single day — inside and outside the gym — and is fully committed to achieving his dream of competing at the highest level.

This is a huge opportunity for him to test himself against the world’s best young athletes, gain invaluable experience, and represent his country with pride.

It’s short notice, and every bit of support — no matter how small — will make a real difference.

We are incredibly grateful for any donations, shares, and messages of encouragement.

All money raised will go directly towards Ethan’s travel and accommodation costs.

Thank you so much for reading, and please wish Ethan the best of luck on his journey to the IMMAFs!
