16 Year Old Prodigy Wins - Helena Crevar

ADCC Submission Fighting Championship is the world’s greatest submission and grappling tournament ever created! One of the most promising BJJ/Grappling competitors of the new generation has changed BJJ academy. Helena Crevar, known as Helena Jiu Jitsu Girl on Instagram, will train under John Danaher and represent New Wave Jiu Jitsu. So far, Helena Crevar has trained under the supervision of world champion Hector Vasquez in Las Vegas. The talented teenager trained at Cobrinha BJJ Las Vegas . Helena and her parents moved to Austin to be able to train with one of the best trainers in the world – John Danaher. Her parents are from Serbia and were both professional athletes. Helena will be 16 in January and in the meantime she has won PAN Kids 6 times . She holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and this year she won the ADCC for teens. In her record, she already has 17 wins at Fight 2 Win galas, where she is the owner of the junior championship belt (she has already defended it four times). Interestingly, on the BJJ Fanatics platform you can already buy several of her instructionals. The teenager is extremely grateful for the opportunity to train with Danaher and Ryan. We are waiting for the first performances under the banner of New Wave Jiu Jitsu. The support of Helena’s parents is the key to her success, because they left their lives in Las Vegas and moved with their daughter to Austin so that she could train in one of the best teams in the world. And yes, on his Instagram, Gordon Ryan welcomed the young BJJ star. Helena announced the news on her IG: “With this post, I’d like to announce that me and my parents just moved to Austin, Texas and that I will be training and competing under @danaherjohn @gordonlovesjiujitsu and the New Wave JiuJitsu team. I’m super grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to represent New Wave!” - courtesy of
