Congrats to the Irish Fighters at the No-Gi Worlds

pablohoney87

Wanna take this opportunity to Congratulate all the Irish fighters who competed in the No-Gi world Championships. From what I've heard so far Lee Hammond from SBG took home Bronze in the Blue Belt Division and Tim Murphy from Point blank took home Gold in the purple belt division.

Serious achievement for Ireland to have another World champion.

Anyone else who has heard of any results/pics or vids feel free to add them underneath.

Well done guys thats awesome. How many lads went over to compete?

rain on

The results are all up on the IBJJF website, from what I can see Lee Hammond, Joey Breslin and Fergal Quinlan lost their first matches, Darragh O'Conaill won his first match and lost his second, in a deep division so he didn't medal. And Tim won all of his

Not Irish but War Machine also won one and lost one..


Results are here for anyone who feels like digging through them.

Just as a matter of clarity.

Lee Hammond got a bronze medal in blue belt juvenile 2 (people born in 1996) middle, in a division of 5, without winning a match (only person not to medal was the poor lad who lost to the eventual gold medaler in the first round).

Tim Murphy won gold in Master Purple belt light weight. Winning 3 matches coming 1st from 10.

Daragh o'Conaill who competed in Brown Adult middle won first lost second fight.

joey breslin, adult purple feather, went out in first round.

fergal quinlan, went out in first round of black master adult light.

cant beat the good old reliable attitude of an irishman begrudging another doing well .
fair play to them for backing themselves and going over there after it

Your wrong. And it's a typical silly attitude perpetuated on this forum which is actually a myth. Slaps on the backs for non-achievements like coming last in a group of 3 (which is fairly common in all martial arts) belittles people that actually win major achievements.

This isn't the local egg and spoon race, nor is it the local bjj derby, people turning up and getting a medal shouldn't be lauded, only those that actually win things.

This isn't to say what they didn't or did do is difficult or easy - to win one match at the international level in bjj is massively hard, even at u15, yellow belt only, ppl that way 70-71.5kg who are Aries.

Drained Empty, don't comment on this thread again. A thread titled "Congrats" is not a place to stir things

Well done Tim, good to see you're still at it. I knew your base in TKD would bring you places

Mad comment. Asolutely mental. The guy gave an account of what happened on the day.
Not commenting on anyone in particular but would you not prefer to know the truth about every division instaed of thinking somebody went and won a bunch of matches?
Anyway, Genuinely, fair play to everybody who put themselves on the line and went out and competed. Win or lose, hope they all learned something and come back stronger next time.

I doubt anyone was upset by hearing details of the number of fights and results guys had. The 'for a bit of clarity' and the tone of the lines about a teenage kid who just fought whoever was in his division on the day made Drained_Empty sound like a pr1ck.

Tim_Murphy

And one wonders why the majority of doers have abandoned these forums to the critics. :rolleyes:

Thanks Pablo for the mention and fair play to all the Irish athletes who went out there and competed. Anyone who has competed internationally will know what the standard at these things is like. The Irish athletes that were there are all high level guys and will all be seen on various podiums again soon no doubt.

Whatever about TKD itself, Don and the IUTF did mould me into the competitor that I am, no doubt about that.

Drained Empty I had a scathing reply typed out but my phone died and i'm too tired from training to waste energy again on you.

If you make the effort to get to the tournament and you fight you earn your medal.

WAR IRISH BJJ WELL DONE TIM MURPHY WORLD CHAMPION!!

To say he "took home bronze in the blue belt division" is very misleading.

I know you meant no harm but you have probably embarrassed the guy for praising him when he didn't win any matches.

How would you react if someone came up to you and said well done, great job if you medalled after not winning a match?
Would you accept it proudly or be a bit embarrassed?
