A LOCAL martial arts coach has fought his way to a gold medal at the Brazilian Jiujitsu British Open 2021.
Head coach at Gracie Barra Melksham, which opened this year in Bowerhill, António Bustorff, was crowned the British Champion in the Masters Super Heavyweight Division. And there was also success for Gracie Barra Melksham student, James Allen, who was crowned the British champion at Blue Belt.
The school says, “We are so proud of our coach and of James! We only opened in May this year and we can’t wait to take more of our students to the British championships in years to come!
“Gracie Barra is about Jiujitsu for everyone, and we welcome anyone who wants to come in and have a free taster session to learn about this amazing self-defence martial art! Go to the Facebook page @graciebarramelksham to book your free trial.”
