Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>Not many can say that they&#8217;ve won four golds in just one day &#8211; but a local Jiu-Jitsu instructor now can!</h3>
Wilson Da Silva from Movement &amp; Fitness Club &amp; BJJ Killarney had a busy weekend in England at the London International Open 2022 Jiu-Jitsu Championship.
This big and popular tournament run by International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) in Crystal Palace each year brings the world&#8217;s best Jiu-Jitsu competitors.
For Wilson it wasn&#8217;t the first time competing in this tournament as he took golds in London Fall before, but this year he not only won, but managed to win four golds in one day.
During the day he fought eight times and won them all; first in the GI in his own category, followed by GI Open Class where he fought some tough ultra heavy opponents &#8211; and repeated it all again in the NO GI.
Silva is extremely dedicated, not only towards his own training, but also towards his students who are driven by his passion, determination and hard work and want to follow his footsteps. They too want to join many Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and get the same amazing outcome.
&#8220;I am extremely proud and happy to be representing Killarney and our club BJJ Killarney all over the world,&#8221; Wilson told the Killarney Advertiser.
&#8220;For the first time in my BJJ career I won four gold medals in one day and it feels amazing. Next stop Rome for the Europeans!&#8221;

Eight fights earns four golds for Wilson
