On Saturday, June 21, Adam Lewandowski made an impressive debut in the advanced 70 kg division at the prestigious ADCC Summer Open, earning a bronze medal in a highly competitive field.

Although Adam had previously competed in adult divisions, this event marked his official entry into the advanced category, and in a much heavier weight class than he normally competes in. Stepping up to this level meant facing not only stronger but also far more experienced opponents—an enormous challenge for someone who, just a few months ago, was still competing as a junior.

Adam rose to the occasion with confidence and technical precision. In the bronze medal match, he submitted his opponent with a slick kneebar in just 30 seconds, securing his place on the podium in dominant fashion.

It’s important to note that ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club) events are among the most respected grappling competitions in the world. Competing at this level is a milestone in itself—earning a medal is a true mark of excellence. The level of competition is unforgiving, and every match tests both physical skill and mental fortitude.

This performance not only reflects Adam’s current abilities, but also sends a strong message about his future potential. It’s a promising beginning to a new chapter in his career—and one that suggests much more is yet to come.
