15 Year Old Blue Belt Defeats Black Belt

Jan 14, 2019BJJEEArticles

Brazil is a home to the new promotion called Orange League – and there a blue belt was able to defeat a black belt in spite of the experience and the age difference?!

Micael Galvão made it by submitting Leandro Rounaud, a former IBJJF Manaus Open adult black belt champion, who looked out of his depth against the outstanding 15-year-old talent.

Galvao is the son of BJJ and Luta-Livre black belt Melqui Galvão

“A vida é uma escolha e eu escolhi lutar!” . . Campeão adulto azul médio e também no absoluto que fechei com meus irmãos. Sem pontos sofridos e terminando todas as lutas por submissão. Depois de 2 anos sem competir no Bergão (última vez foi novembro de 2016) voltei a lutar no ginásio onde fiz minha primeira luta a dez anos atrás. Muito bom sentir o calor do La Bombonera Manauara de novo. Obrigado mestre @luisnetojj por permitir me testar em grau mais difícil que a minha idade. Obrigado professores, companheiros de equipe e patrocinadores sem vocês eu não conseguiria. 🙏❤ . 📸 @luanhenriquejj . . . || @akbjj || @melquigalvaobjj || @azfitnessmanaus ||@cobrinhacharles @atleta.campeao || @nabil_jiujitsu || @barbeariadotesta || @mv_personal || @_hildosantos || @copapodio || @jiulife @thetaptape || . #melquigalvaobjj #everydayporrada #allianceeusou #azfitnessmanaus #nabiljj #atletacampeao #cobrinhabjj #barbeariadotesta #thetape #akbjj #armorkimonos #mvpersonal #eueraumcascagrossajuvenil #copapodio #mvpersonal #jiulife
