Double Gold for Greenhalgh in Italy
12-year-old brings home the bling
Summit Grappling Academy’s Alan Greenhalgh competed in BJJ Italia’s North Italian Cup at the weekend and came away without a single point scored against him.
Competing in both Gi (Kimono) and Nogi (Rashguard and shorts) Jiu-Jitsu, Alan had four matches which took place in the Piemonte region of Northern Italy.
In his first Gi match, Alan scored 6-0 before finishing it early with a submission that put him into the final against an older Competitor. No qualms for Alan though, he won the final convincingly with another score of 6-0; gold number one in the kimono pocket for Al.
Next up, Alan took part in the Nogi division winning his semi-final with YET ANOTHER score of 6-0. In his final match of the day, Alan scored 7-0 to win the his second gold on points.
A superb achievement from the 12-year-old who has been very dedicated to his training recently in preparation for the upcoming British Open next month.
Fancy a bit of what Alan has? Summit Grappling Academy is holding an open day on Sunday, 28th April with introductory sessions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo and Wrestling. More details can be found on SGA’s Facebook page.
