Hailey has a
secret! |
Guys did you know we have a star in our midst. A few
months ago we learnt Jenny was a Tiger lover and traveled to
Africa and now we learn Hailey is a champion Jui Jitsu competitor! Here’s
a few words from Hailey,
Recently I went to America to
compete in the World Championships held in Long Beach, California,
for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , a sport that closely resembles wrestling
(or if you watch UFC, the groundwork minus broken noses and teeth),
as there's no striking or hitting involved. The level of competition
was extremely high, with a difficult win by choking my first
opponent unconscious, and an even more difficult loss where I
was on the receiving end of a choke that rendered me unconscious,
putting me at 3rd place for my belt and weight category.

America and the country was a cool place to
visit, with many new and different experiences. While people
may not be as friendly as they are here on the coast, you'll
definitely enjoy exploring the American culture. Disneyland is
a must-see theme park, as is Knott's Berry Farm, which in addition
to being great for thrill seekers, has some of (if not the best)
rollercoaster’s in America.
Well done Hailey and thanks for sharing your
story, and don’t worry guys Hailey is a bundle of smiles
and your safe to dance with her! Orch.............. |
