How old were you when you started training BJJ? Michael Kennedy was 7 years old when he started training. This 12 year old from Brisbane, Australia, competes in MMA, Muay Thai, and has around 260 BJJ competitions under his belt.
He started training as a result of being bullied in school. He already has 4 Muay Thai fights and 1 (amateur) MMA fight. The most impressive feat though is his claim of having competed in BJJ 260 times which is an insanely high number especially for a 12 year old.
Most adults won’t even reach a fraction of that number…
Michael tries to compete every weekend and sometimes even does 2 competitions in a weekend.
His ultimate goal is to be a world champion and fight in the UFC one day.
He is number 1 in the world on Smoothcomp, where he has a BJJ record of 95 wins and 35 losses.
