Olive Bolton siblings tackle World Jiu Jitsu Championships

Three siblings from The Olive School, Bolton have been proving themselves on the world stage, as they competed at an international jiu-jitsu championship.

Easa Adam won double gold at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Junior World Gi & Non Gi Championships in Wolverhampton, as he competed alongside his siblings Zainab and Yahya.

This came after they all took home medals at the National championships, where Year 3 pupil Easa won the Gold medal in the Gi discipline, along with a Silver in the Non-Gi category.

At the same tournament, his sister Zainab, in Year 4, also came second in her weight category, while younger brother Yahya, a Year 1 pupil at the school, won both a Bronze and a Silver in the Gi and Non Gi respectively.

This is the latest successful competition for seven-year-old Easa, who has competed across the country. He recently won double gold at the All Stars Northern Pro, and has recently become fanatical about the sport, training six times a week and regularly completes long distance runs to increase his stamina.

All three of the siblings, who only took up the sport two years ago, have been consistently punching above their weight during their fledgling sporting journeys. Zainab in particular has been placed into heavier weight categories and even in the boys’ divisions due to lack of suitable competitors.

The pupils hope to continue their success, as well as their love of the sport, as they plan to compete overseas next year at an international tournament in Brussels.
