Crofton youngster Reynnahn Bradley is taking combat world by storm
Crofton youngster Reynnahn Bradley is taking the combat sports world by storm – at the age of just seven.
Reynnahn, or Ren as he is known, competes in a number of sports, but has recently had success in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where he has won seven gold medals in a row, including the Yorkshire Open title at Barnsley Metrodome.
And last weekend he won the British title for his age group in just 40 seconds to become a national champion despite only competing competitively for the first time just eight months ago.
Ren now has his sights on the European and World Championships and is also hoping to make his MMA debut this year.
Proud father Marc is among Ren’s biggest supporters and told the Express: “He is someone extremely dedicated to martial arts as is his whole family who have a dedicated page on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube where all of their matches are documented.
"Ren started martial arts at four years old training BJJ before also training Muay Thai, wrestling and MMA.
"He has had 21 Muay Thai fights already at seven and 30 BJJ competitive matches.
"He is the 2nd oldest in a family of five – four boys ages 10, seven, five and three who all train martial arts and a baby sister aged two who will likely follow in her brother's footsteps based on what we see each day.
"Ren loves martial arts and competition and would compete everyday in any combat sport if it was possible and the same with his training, he can't get enough, is very dedicated to becoming the best he can and is an inspiration to all those who know him and train with him.”
