The junior IMMAF World Championships has concluded in the Jiu-Jitsu Arena in Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi. Sixteen amateur champions were crowned as the Juniors took centre stage for the first day of finals.
Join us for the IMMAF results where we bring you all the winners of this spectacular event.
RMMAU athletes dominated the day, with athletes from the Federation winning all but one of their fights. They had a flawless run of form in the women’s division, going five of five. Valeriya Tepysheva kicked things off with a TKO/KO victory over Aigerim Manakova. This was followed by decision wins from her teammates.
Kazakhstan picked up two medals through Karina Sisenova and Yersultan Shakenbay. Both were won in highly competitive decision bouts.
2019 Youth World Champion Akhmad Amaev of RMMMAU added a Junior gold medal to his collection as he continues his development in IMMAF. His grappling display was impressive as he scored an amazing inverted triangle choke.
