- Most Technical Fighter
Both Aziz and Melvynna competed in last weekend's 2008 Pan Asian Brazilian Jiu-Jistu International in Manila, representing Budo Academy and Kreation Jiu-Jitsu.
Besides sweeping all the womens categories she participated in (Gi; weight class and absolute and No Gi; Weight class and Absolute) and returning to Singapore with 4 gold medals, Mel was also awarded the Technical Fighter of the tournament. It is the highest award of the event with only one given out each time.
And this is the FIRST TIME it has been awarded to a female.
Only 1 of her fights went full time and was decided on points (she was down 3 points in the last 10 secs, but did a take down and went to full mount to win!), and 1 fight ended in submission inside of 15 secs.
We are certain both Aziz and Mel have also gained valuable experience in the tournament.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
