Ben Naylor, from Cowley, won a gold medal at the British National Pro Jiu Jitsu Championships in London.
The 29-year-old, who trains with Oxford Shootfighters in Templar’s Square, defeated Faisal Raja in the Blue Belt 69kg category final to claim the gold medal.
A delighted Naylor said: “The plan now is to fight in London next month and then in Abu Dhabi.
“My aim is to become the best blue belt in the world.
“I have given myself by the end of the year to do it!”
