IBJJF European Champion (2016), Polaris Lightweight and Bantamweight Champion, Kasai Veteran and EBI Veteran. Ash has long been considered one of the UK’s top No-gi grapplers, having success both in the tournament and superfight format. He holds wins over notable grapplers such as, Richard Alacrcon, Ben Eddy, Ethan Crelinsten, Frank Rosenthal, Masakazu Imanari, Rafeal Freitas and Kamil Wilk

Originally from Wales, Ash began his martial arts journey at age 6 with Japenese Jiu-Jitsu. He would go on to try Judo and Kickboxing. By age 15 Ash and his twin brother Joshua were looking to channel their training into a competition endeavor. Their coached recommended they give BJJ a try. The brothers signup at their local gym (CRA HQ), after one month of training they jumped into a competition. Ash did not get the success he hoped for but, was hooked to the training and competing lifestyle offered by BJJ. In 2015 after a success coloured belt career Ash was promoted to the rank of Black belt by Chris Rees. Since then Ash has won the IBJJF No-Gi Europeans and become the Polaris Lightweight and Bantamweight champion

As his career has progressed Ash has taken to focus on his No-Gi game, seeking the biggest matches and tournaments that the No-gi grappling world has to offer. As he transitioned away from Gi training and competition, Ash worked hard to develop the necessary adjustments needed to bring one of his favourite guard systems into the No-Gi world, Z-guard. Making the necessary adjustments, he was able to find much success using this system. In recent years Ash has developed his takedown and guard passing to become the complete package.

With an eye already on the 2021 ADCC, Ash has organised a series of training camps to take place in the coming years which will include many of Europe's top lightweight grapplers. In the meantime, Ash will look to keep his crown of double champion in Polaris. He recently captured the Bantamweight title with a nasty arm lock finish of Richard Alacorn. Ash has also teased at the possibility of going after his 3rd Polaris title by competing for the Welterweight belt. Another potential challenge would be a rematch with Joao Miyao.
