In November 2024 Shane Curtis travelled out to Texas to compete in the Main Character professional Jujitsu event which was broadcast live on Flo Grappling. Unfortunately Shane injured his knee in a freak accident and had to withdraw from the competition where he was hoping to test himself against some of the world's best athletes. The initial spark that inspired him to get into martial arts came after watching the Bruce Lee film "enter the dragon" as a young energetic kid growing up. Shane only started the sport of Jujitsu at the age of nineteen and after a decade of training out of the Nottingham MMA gym he is now a black belt. Mixed martial arts has gained huge popularity in recent years thanks to the UFC and the podcaster Joe Rogan who share the incredible stories of the world's best fighters on massive platforms. After returning from America Shane has now set his sights on one day completing at the ADCC submission fighting World championships. And this is his story.
