You wouldn’t think we’d just had a crazy weekend of competitions on Saturday and Sunday.
The team was straight back to work on Monday. A new week, chasing the goals we’ve set ourselves. Everyone has their own individual goals, but as a team, we work towards them together.

You see the level.
You see the medals.
You see the standard we produce.
But above all that, the community we’ve built, the friendships, and the bonds that last a lifetime.
We don’t just build champions we build people.
From local competitions to athletes competing on some of the biggest stages in submission grappling and MMA, Mata Leao BJJ Bradford continues to produce at every level.
We specialise in submission grappling.
The only question is…
What’s your excuse for not joining?

What a weekend for Team Mata Leao! 💪❤️
A massive shout out to everyone who competed yesterday on in Bradford. We had so many fighters representing the gym it’s impossible to mention everyone individually. Some picked up fantastic wins, some came up short, but every single one of you showed heart, courage and represented the team with pride. There were some incredible performances, and every fight was another step forward.
Today, another huge well done to everyone who competed at 7. Whether you came home with a medal or simply gained valuable experience, we’re proud of every single one of you for stepping onto the mats and representing Mata Leao.
A huge thank you to all the coaches, volunteers, teammates, friends, family and supporters who helped make both events such a success. We couldn’t do it without you.
It was an amazing turnout all weekend, and we’re already looking forward to the next one. We’ll definitely be hosting more Combat Base Open events in the future at our gym… and who knows, maybe even our own BJJ competition one day. 👀🥋
Now it’s time to recover, get back in the gym, keep improving and stay active. This is only the beginning.
If you have any photos or videos from either event, we’d love to see them! Tag mata leão Brazilian jiu jitsu and use our hashtag so we can share your highlights. 📸🎥
Proud of every single one of you. On to the next! 🫡❤️
