Meet the fighters: Paul "Heavyweight" Dunn

Paul was not afraid of making himself look like a complete prat

Many people have encouraged Paul to register his alter-ego with Marvel Comics, for he is "The Incredible Shrinking Man". Ex-super heavyweight fighter Paul has used his secret powers by slowly collapsing in on himself like a dying star into a borderline lightweight-welterweight. Being a superhero can be expensive, and Paul has been forced to sell his car and steal his daughter’s bike to get to training. On the mat, Paul uses his height to sneak beneath any jabs, slam people and somersault into a flying kneebar, injuring himself in the process while allowing his oponent to escape.

Meet the fighters: Kevin "The Law" Brown

Mean, lean hurting machine

He just likes hurting people! Black Country Combat’s resident copper likes to hone his career skills on the mat, pretending that everyone else is a felon resisting arrest, and getting the odd sly boot in while no one is looking. Having admitted that he just likes hitting people, Kev has been forced to take a few weeks off to calm down, pretending to have a shoulder injury as a cover story. Evenin’ all.

Meet the fighters: Paul "The Animal" Holmes

You'll be alright... I'll go easy on you

A fighter with massive muscles is famous for being a strong, but slow fighter who will easily tire after but a few minutes. Paul doesn’t know this unfortunately, and continues to flout the laws of the universe, relentlessly dominating any fight with incredible speed and strength. Paul likes to lure unsuspecting victims into his cage with reassuring phrases such as “I’m going easy tonight”, “I’m getting old” and “I’ve hurt my shoulder”, while promising to only go “50%”, which in reality means “150%”. Easily being the richest member of BCC, when not fighting Paul can be found at home buffing up his newest sports car, or pouring over the housing market to buy yet another property to add to his empire.

Meet the fighters: Roger "No name" Woodward

Roger took his school photo seriously

A fighter that has inspired many who train at BCC, who continues to be a driving force behind every win at competition, who is at the forefront of every new technique, and has helped shape Black Country Combat into a lean mean hurting machine. But enough about me, lets talk about the man with the girlie haircut. Roger has been training since 1704, first starting out in tradition Jujitsu. After gaining his black belt, he turned to fighting crime in the ghetto known as Tipton, before returning to MMA and starting Black Country Combat. Roger has had a few weeks (or months, years?) off from training, claiming to have injured his shoulder, so I can’t actually remember what his fighting style is… He was last seen heading towards McDonalds for a Big Mac and coke.

Meet the fighters: James "The Chosen One" Steele

Air guitar? Rubbish! Check out my air trumpet!

Few manage to achieve perfection in the short time that they have on this world, and I can say that I am one of those few. Handsome, intelligent, witty, athletic – these are a few of the words that people would like to use to describe me, but don’t because they think I’ll get embarrassed or something. Being the 4th longest serving member of Black Country Combat, I have managed to hone my skills on the mat to such a level, that I now have to carefully pick my sparring partners for fear of seriously injuring them. Claims of dirty fighting are completely unfounded – people just insist on head butting my elbows all the time.
