Next up was Shaun Randall who also faced part of the Norwegian team brought over to compete on the event, Shaun went 3 rounds with a unorthodox opponent who used a variety of strikes and takedown attempts throughout the fight but it was Randall’s striking that won him the fight as he landed a number of clean punches before finishing his opponent with a head kick.

“A smooth sea never makes a skilled sailor!”

As he continues his rise to the top of the pile of domestic Welterweights, The Love Doctor has another tough test in his way in Madaras Fleminas. Fleminas is 7-0 as a professional but that’s nothing strange to Proctor who still only 24 years old has already taken the 0 from Ashley Reece (6-0) and Sam Boult (7-0).

Proctor is a full time fighter with a full time job and if you don’t believe us you should follow his training on Instagram (@AdamProctor).

Tickets are available at the gym to support South Shields own Proctor as he looks to bring home another huge win!

Developing a well rounded skill set is important in a sport like MMA or for confidence and self defence, known for having heavy hands Aaron Chalmers showed a more complete game at Bellator London. His opponent Fred Freeman came into the fight with 2 wins and 2 losses on his record with an awkward style exaggerated by his southpaw stance. Chalmers showed a maturity in his fight developed in the gym through fight simulation rounds with the likes of Cage Warriors stand out Adam Proctor, Pro MMA fighter and amateur champions Davie Mclaughlin & Mitch Dobbins alongside amateur prospect Will Brown. During the contest much of it fought against the cage and with Aaron in top position, “The Joker” showed an understanding of wrestling and control that he’d not demonstrated during his previous fights with many in attendance including UFC and Bellator MMA veterans and coaches saying he looked a much improved fighter.


Prior to the fight Chalmers asked Coach Alex Enlund what if I sub him, to which he was told he could have his first stripe on his BJJ White Belt. A promise that will have to be kept as it was shared post fight by Aaron live on Channel 5

Jiu Jitsu that transcends environment!

4/29/2019

At SBG South Shields we offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that transcends environments, body types, age and gender. It’s important that we offer the fundamentals as we look to increase the effectiveness for each of our members/students in a fight or competition.


We don’t encourage kids to pull guard, although this increases the chances of winning a match and getting on a podium we prioritise takedowns and trips. It’s important our children have skills for competition that will also aid them in conflict as often a child will not be able to distinguish the difference.

This past weekend, professional fighters Milad Ahady & Adam Proctor both won Gold medals at Grappling Industries in Manchester competing in the Gi. Proctor also won the Advanced NoGi Division for under 210lbs, the Cage Warriors welter weight fighter has 10 wins in Mixed Martial Arts by submission. Also picking up Gold medals was juniors Alex Williams & Josh Tyre alongside Coach Alex Enlund who won the under 185lbs Brown Belt Division.
