Join Us On the Mats - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Callum Hanman - Black belt promotion -Ginger GSP
Fight City Dec 2025
Callum’s journey in martial arts began at just seven years old. He later explored boxing before stepping into MMA at 18. After his first cage fight at 19, he realised just how crucial grappling was and committed himself fully to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Within a year, he became an English Champion at white belt, winning both his weight division and the absolute title, and earned his blue belt at the Euros. As a blue belt, he medalled internationally and competed at the World Championships in Los Angeles, receiving his purple belt soon afterwards.
At purple belt, Callum became one of the UK's top-ranked competitors, stepped into professional grappling, and continued his MMA success with multiple submission victories. After COVID paused competition, he moved to London to pursue the sport more seriously, earning his brown belt and adding further submission wins to his record, including a 55-second victory on his professional MMA debut. More international competition followed, along with another hard-fought professional win where his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu once again proved decisive.
Last month, after years of dedication, competition, and personal growth, Callum was awarded his black belt—a milestone that reflects an incredible journey both on and off the mats.
We are incredibly proud of Callum: as a business partner in the club, a training partner, a competitor, and, above all, a friend.

Black Belt
Fourteen years of hard work have earned me a black belt.
As much as this means to me, I've also come to realise that the work truly starts here.
The best advice I've been given is this:
"I'm not sure anyone ever feels fully ready for their black belt, because by the time you earn it, you know enough to realise just how much more there is to learn. It's not a finish line; it's a beginning. The belt doesn't just represent technique—it represents perseverance, humility, and character."
Finally, thank you to Glen McCracken, who, back in my white belt days, famously described rolling with me as "fighting a baby elephant tied to a tree." I still think that's one of the best compliments I've ever received.
