A YOUNG Jiu-Jitsu competitor from Bromsgrove has been crowned Elite Junior World Champion at just 11 years old, writes Kingsley Winter.
Jaxon Boyce, who attends Parkside Middle School, took the title after participating in the one of the largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions in Europe.
Competing against talented athletes from across the UK and overseas, Jaxon produced an outstanding performance to secure the gold medal and earn the title of World Champion at the 42kg division.
Jaxon has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for just three years now, at the Gracie Barra, Halesowen, where his hard work and determination helped him become one of the country’s top young competitors.
Jaxon’s mum Siobhan said: “This is an incredible achievement for such a young athlete and is a proud moment not only for Jaxon and his family, but also for his coaches, team mates and the Bromsgrove community.
“His success shows what can be achieved through commitment, discipline and perseverance, and we hope his story will inspire other young people to get involved in sport.”
