🇦🇪 World Youth Championships 🥈
🇰🇭 SEA Regional Championship 🥇🥈

A month ago marked such a fun and unforgettable journey. I was given the chance to compete in Abu Dhabi and Cambodia, and each competition brought new experiences, lessons, and memories.

Win or lose, every match taught me something and helped me grow.

To my @cebujiujitsu @drillerbeesbjj Coaches & my S&C Coach @stanfitness1939 thank you for your guidance, game plans, and support.

To my teammates, thank you for always pushing me and helping me improve.

To @jjfphilofficial thank you for all the support and the opportunity to represent my country.

Thank you to all my sponsors & @grypkimonos for my no gi set.

And to my family and friends, thank you for always believing in me.

I’m proud of how far l’ve come, but there’s still a lot more to learn.

2026 FLIPSPORTS INTERNATIONAL JIU JITSU OPEN
@flipsportsph @asjjf.ph

I’m so grateful to have placed 2nd after finishing in 3rd place so many times. 🤭

This summer break gave me the opportunity to work harder than ever, and all that effort finally paid off. Standing on the podium with pride means so much to me, and this achievement is something I’ll always cherish. As I prepare to start my college journey, this may be my last competition for a while.

I want to sincerely thank @cebujiujitsu coaches @ninobronito @annaahnana @randyvanignacio @porrada_tito @teodycue @daviosanchez @edgy_edjie @petercorazo @pitbull_doowon @lbowlee @deadskye @kaotep who helped me throughout my training , my teammates, my brother (who is very annoying 😂) our S&C coach @stanfitness1939 and my parents who always believed in me since I started this sports. I couldn’t have done it without all of you. This isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning of a new chapter. by @kaotep
