Support Michael to represent GB at the European Championship

** Help Michael Represent Great Britain at the European Ju Jitsu Championships **

Hello! My name is Michael, and I’m a proud brown belt in traditional Ju Jitsu, having dedicated the last 7 years to training and competing in this incredible martial art.

Over the past two years, I’ve seen my hard work and passion pay off — securing Gold medals at the Welsh Championships back-to-back and, most recently, taking Gold at the British Championships in my first national competition.

Now, I’m honoured and thrilled to share that I’ve been selected to represent Great Britain at the European Ju Jitsu Championships in Belgium this October!

This is a huge milestone in my journey, and a fantastic opportunity to represent both my club and my country on the international stage. Fighting Ju Jitsu is one of the fastest-growing combat sports in the UK, and Team GB is working hard to build a strong, competitive squad on the European and world circuits.

However, this dream comes with a cost. As the sport is currently underfunded, athletes are responsible for covering their own expenses — including:

* Entry fees

* Travel and accommodation

* Insurance

* Team kit

* Nutrition and recovery support

That’s why I’m reaching out to ask for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a massive difference in helping me get to Belgium and give my all in the pursuit of a European title.

I’m training harder than ever, multiple times a week, and I’m fully committed to bringing home another medal — not just for myself, but for my club, my teammates, and everyone who believes in me.

If you’re able to support, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And even if you can’t donate, a share of this page or a few words of encouragement would mean the world.

Let’s show Europe what Team GB can do.

Thank you for being part of this journey!
