Sporting spotlight on Prep pupil Jody

At Bridgewater School we believe that the individual achievements of pupils deserve to be celebrated so it is wonderful to be able to share the success of Prep’s Jody Gannon, who recently became a European silver medallist at the 2022 International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Championships in Dublin.

For Jody, who is currently a junior white-and-grey belt, the European Jiu-Jitsu Championship provided an exciting opportunity to compete against some of the best players in the world within his age and weight category, and the chance to fulfil his potential on an international stage.

The Prep VI pupils began learning Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) at the age of four and shows enormous dedication and commitment to his sport; training six days-a-week with Manchester Predators. This achievement is a true reflection of his efforts and, with another elite tournament taking place later this month, we are sure he can look forward to further success in the very near future.

Well done Jody!

Achievement means so much more when coupled with true enjoyment.
