Andrea Siem and Joseph Butler from Kaizen Academy won the national titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu earlier this month.
Andrea became the academy's first female champion, winning gold in her division and went on to win the Absolute division too, making her a double gold winner.
Joe also became British champion in his category after an outstanding performance.
