Three members of a Manx jiu-jitsu club have been crowned British champions.
Summit Grappling Academy - formerly known as Gracie Barra - took a trio of gold medals as well as nine silvers and seven bronze at the recent BJJ British Open in Manchester at the weekend.
Among the highlights, Iona Meban became the youngest British champion ever from the Isle of Man winning her class with Gianni Fabrizio also emerging victorious in his category to take a national title.
