AIDAN JOHNSON • BJJ BLACKBELT • Huge congratulations to Aidan Johnson, who was awarded his BJJ Blackbelt tonight in front of a packed gym. .johnsonnz
•
Aidan is an outstanding grappler, having won national championships in BJJ, Wrestling & Sambo, as well as having represented team NZ at the wrestling Oceania championships and the World Sambo Championships.
•
But putting his jiujitsu to the ultimate test, he also won the XFC Lightweight MMA Championship and Beatdown MMA Tournament. His well-honed grappling was very dominant on the cage!
•
But even more than these accolades, he’s a polite and considerate person, a reliable friend and training partner and always shows up and freely gives his time whenever we ask for help - even if it takes a little more than his body was ready for in the process.
•
Ever the quiet achiever, Aidan won’t be running around telling everyone about it his new belt - so please let us help him out and congratulate him on all his hard work and consistency.
