Lady athletes fighting to become WORLD CHAMPIONS

My name is Edward Bates owner of Kihon MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We have a martial arts school with nearly 150 students, kids making up the majority of the students. Our youth students are some of the most wonderful and amazing people you'll ever meet. Amongst those amazing people we have 5 youth lady athletes who claimed the right to compete in Abu Dhabi August 15th 2022. The competition in Abu Dhabi is

the World Championships of Pankration. The

World Championships of Pankration is a youth cage fighting event where the best athletes in the world come to compete and claim the right to be the worlds best. The prior year

there were only 9 female athletes in all of the USA. Our school had 4 of those 9 ladys that went to worlds in Sofia Bolgaria.

We claimed 1 World title, 1 silver and 2

bronze metals. In 2018 our school took 2

youth lady athletes. Those two ladies

brought home Gold and Silver medals.

I can say our Female youth athletes are some of the most fierce, intelligent, and talented people on this planet.

The 5 youth lady athletes that will attend worlds in Abu Dhabi are Andrea Frisque 17 yrs, Allison Enos Keenan 17 yrs, Citlali Perez 16 yrs, Madeline Meza 13, and Hannah Wagstaff 15 yrs.
