British Open back in Manchester!

10 years ago, back in 2015, I became president of ADCC UK and we held our first ADCC British Open in Manchester. Since then (unlike a lot of competitions) we have custom designed some incredible medals for each specific event. This costs us both time and money as they cannot be reused at future events but we feel gives the winning athletes something unique to cherish for their win.

2025 the ADCC British Open returns to Manchester to a brand new bigger venue (the Regional Athletics Arena) to allow for our continued growth in the UK. This year our 2025 medals look absolutely fantastic and in returning to Manchester they feature the Manchester worker bee, symbolising hard work and tenacity. We hope you like them!

Darren Sherlock
ADCC UK President
