Budokwai Judoka, Bobby Rich and Tom Buckfast both took Gold medals at the Gracie Invitational Brazilian Jui Jitsu tournament on Sunday 27th April.
Tom at blue belt in middle heavy weight and Bobby at purple belt in heavy weight both performed superbly.
Both used their Judo to great effect, making many powerful throws (all would have scored ippon in a Judo competition) before moving to the ground to submit and score their way to gold.
Bobby also took the purple belt absolute gold in what is Europe's Second largest Brazilian Jui Jitsu competition.
