So, now that my brain is kind of functioning I can make some announcements about the Teesside Grapplethon. The total amount raised so far is £2,291 which is a massive achievement and I am over the moon about it! Thank you to everyone who donated and raised sponsorship money. The winner of the Valor Fightwear Gi and Tshirts for most sponsorship money raised is Ben Clarke who raised a massive £400 of sponsorship. The winner of the Adversity Fight Wear Gi and Tshirts for most rounds rolled between 12pm and 12am is Michael Oliver who sparred 50 rounds. The man is a machine. Progress Jiu Jitsu donated 2 Gis and 1 Tshirt for the most rounds rolled between 12am and 10am and the winners of the Gis were myself and Chris Naisbett and Frank Armstrong won the Tshirt. There were 12 prizes in the raffle and the winners are: Chris O Rourke - won 2 Personal Training Sessions with Jamie Taylor of Platinum Fitness Ben Smith won 1 Personal Training Session with Jamie Taylor and 1 Private BJJ lesson with Martin Ashton Stewart Glenc won 1 Private BJJ lesson with Martin Ashton and 1 Roll Supreme Tshirt Frank Armstrong won a VHTS Gi Tony Jones won a Drill Skills Rashguard I won a Nutrition Plan from Mike Leng at Unorthodox Nutrition Jono Hart won a Tshirt from Roll Supreme Jamie Worton won a Tshirt from 08/20 Tshirt from Roll Supremes Kristen Ashleigh Harrison also won a Private BJJ lesson from Martin Ashton I wanted to say some massive thank yous to Jack Colvin from Roll Supreme, James Tighe from Progress Jiu Jitsu, Chris SweatyGorilla Neave from Adversity Fightwear and Kevin Adshead from Valor Fightwear who all donated gear to be used as prizes on the day. Ed Ingamells who gave up his time, travelled hundreds of miles to teach a seminar for free (which was amazing) and then proceeded to roll for 2 and a half hours with every single person there and is also a bloody nice guy. I cant say enough good things about him. Shaun Matthews who taught a class at 11pm even though he had a huge black belt super fight the next day against Robson Gracie. Jamie Taylor who taught an amazing No Gi class, rolled with everyone and let us use Middlesbrough Fight Academy for 24 hours free of charge, Will Smith who taught the last class of the day to complete the 24 hours and Andy Smith who taught a takedowns class at 1am. Massive thanks to Marty Ashton who helped me massively in organising the day. Legends, every single one of you! Thanks to everyone who came and rolled throughout the day, there are too many to mention but I do want to give huge thanks to Michael Oliver, Aaron Shiels, Mobeen Hussain Ben Smith, Scott Forsyth, Frank Armstrong, Lee Cadogan and Chris Naisbett who were all with me untill the early hours. Sorry if Ive forgot anyone but I really do appreciate everyone who took part. I think everyone should feel very proud of themselves.
