Another IBJJF Pan Pacific Kids Gold Medal On The Wall
On the weekend Caleb represents the BJJ Coach Melbourne Competition Team in the IBBJF Pan Pacific Kids Championships, Caleb won this title last year ( 2017 ) and backed it up with a sensational submission victory winning Gold and now holding the 2018 IBBJF Pan Pacific Kids Championship Title.
Caleb has had a big year with lots of wins and in all his fights he has gained a podium finish, Caleb started the 2018 year off with Gold in the AFBJJ Victorian State Championships and has won Gold in the No-Gi at Grappling industries and so many other medals this year in different competitions.
Like any athlete there are ups and downs and due to Sensei Garry’s emergency surgery and not being able to teach or run the comp classes Caleb went into the Australia National Titles with little to no competition training under belt and unlike the 2017 Nationals which he won this year he got Bronze.
In some ways this may be a blessing as Caleb has really. got fired up and came to the Pan Pacific Kids Competition ready to fight…. his performance was dominate finishing the fight with a modified Bow and Arrow Choke we had been working on in comp class, I am very proud of Caleb for his never quit attitude and his willingness to listen and improve his game. I want to thank Calebs dad Caine for his awesome support in the competition team management and to Calebs family for always being there to support him.
Our goal in 2019 is to fund raise and get Caleb to the Kids Worlds so he can experience this world class level of competition and to show him the next level up for him to strive for…. He will become a world Champion, he has the skill and he has the will to succeed.
