The First U.M.A. English Open Groundfighting Championships were a resounding and fantastic success.

The U.M.A. would like to thank all the Coach's, Competitors, Referee's, Officials, Spectators and Supporters alike for making the Championship the fantastic success it was, again we were at near capacity at the Venue.

Congratulations to all of the New U.M.A. English Open Groundfighting Champions, Gold Medalists and Title Holders for 2007 who won they're respective Weight Categories at the Championships, and well done to everyone who took part, without you all, it would not have been the success it was.

We must also express our gratitude and sincere thanks to everyone who took part in these our First Prestigious English Open Groundfighting Championships, and thankyou to everyone for getting to the venue, registering, weighing-in an being ready on time, as we started the Championships yet once again on time, and due to the smooth running and the help of the Spectators, Players, Coach's, Referee's and Officials etc, we even finished earlier yet again than anticipated time of 5.30pm, now again, in only our third Championships this year, this is yet another magnificent feat, so the U.M.A. thank you all for your superb co-operation. This is getting a to be a regular habit of starting on time and finishing early, so once again, thanks to everyone who were there on the day who made the Championships the success it was.

Keep your eyes out for the write up, results and photo's etc, in Fighters Magazine and www.onthemat.com and of course here on www.MMAUniverse.com

We look forward to seeing you all, especially the Fighters again, all 82 of you, hopefully again soon, and especially look forward to seeing you all along with all the U.M.A. English Open Champions and U.M.A. English Open Title Holders defending and fighting for the titles again next year in 2008.

Hopefully, we may see some of you at the U.M.A. UK Open Judo High Kneeling Ne Waza (Groundfighting with Gi) Championships on Sunday 19th August 2007...
