As a club we always promote our children to have interests outside of football. League winning U14 Youth player Roshan has been doing just that and after years of hard work, he has achieved his black belt with Combat Academy UK

Congratulations Roshan

Roshan has been with FC Bracknell for 4 years and will continue next season as a U15 along his Jui-Jitsu.

Dad Suki, has written FC Bracknell a short story about his sons journey

A Black belt is a white belt that never gave up!

After 9 years of blood, sweat and arduous study and training to his art, Roshan finally became a Shodan Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

He first joined CAUK (Combat Academy UK) back in 2013 at the young age of 7 and on that journey he has learnt and continues to learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu, Kali (Filipino stick fighting), Tanto-Jitsu (blade defence) and Kickboxing. He is also a Level 3 accredited instructor coaching junior grades from the ages of 5 to 13 years.

On grading day, his Black Belt assessment was an extremely demanding physical test requiring demonstration of the complete syllabus following a minimum of two years of preparation (and having a good standing and moral character within the club as well as a very high standard of technique). 7 hours, 150 throws from Red to Brown belt, weapon defence against baton and knife attacks, facing multiple attackers, ground fighting bouts and finishing with three rounds of controlled sparring against two opponents at once.

Again, congratulations
