WEYMOUTH's newest Jiu-Jitsu club continues to establish itself after picking up three medals at the Dorset & Hants Open.

Three competitors took part in the event giving the Weymouth's Triton BJJ side a mix of adult and masters at various weights - winning one gold and two bronze medals.

Dean Morriss was up first in the adult gi division.

He gave a competitive back and forth in his opening round, eventually collecting a face down arm bar finish, to secure his semi-final place.

In the next round, Morriss seems to find his same form, taking top control despite both athletes pushing for a crack in the others armour.

With some highly charged attempts, ultimately it didn’t go to plan as Morriss slipped to the wrong side of his opponent and was succumb this time to the opposite end of the arm bar and bronze medal finish.

In the no-gi, Morriss faced arguably his strongest opponent of the day, but with technique fresh in his mind, he gave a fantastic showing of Jiu-Jitsu foundation skills by wracking up multiple sweeps to confirm a semi-final placing.

In the following round, Morriss was visibly fatigued from the previous round, and with an opponent who had been given a bye, Morriss continued to an exhausting defeat, giving him another bronze medal for his effort.

Jordan Trewartha was up next, having a great showing in his adult gi event. The Weymouth native easily despatched his first opponent, scoring a takedown followed by a quick succession of points with a set of transitions.

In the final, Trewartha found a tougher opponent, but none-the-less it was the fortune of the arm bar that struck again for the Weymouth side, securing his first gold medal in competition.

Unfortunately, in the no-gi it was a different story, unluckily falling to a rib injury in the opening 2 minutes, Trewartha was forced to give in to submission to close the day.

The final competitor of the day was the pride of the club as Wayne Paice attended his first competition while having started the sport only five months ago.

Paice gave a worthy effort in both his no-gi matches, exchanging stand up position with his opponents for the opening minutes, eventually falling to americana style joint locks in both matches.

Head instructor, Mark Stephenson commented, “We’re always proud of our members when they travel, representing the club and the town.

"We were especially excited to see Wayne make his first competition and for Jordan to celebrate his dedication to training with a worthy gold medal finish.

"Competition Jiu-Jitsu is a different beast with more pressure and adrenaline than our usual training.

"It’s the dedication to training that gave our guys the potential to collect a range of medal and we look forward to more in the future.”
