Hihi Brothers are Gisborne’s own World BJJ Champs Te Aitanga ā Māhaki / Tūhoe brothers, Carlos and Dante Hihi were in Los Angeles this month to compete in the Kids World BJJ Champs. For four months previously Carlos has been training hard preparing for the world championships which boasted top class competitors from across the globe including Brazil, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and America.

on day one as he felt he could have won Gold if he had tried harder but for us it was just amazing to see him on the podium representing Aotearoa at the Worlds. In March Dante was in Starship hospital for two weeks after surgery on a condition he has had since birth and to reach such an achievement after all he has been through is just mind blowing.”

Dante was thrown into the mix two months ago, as he has been his brothers training partner throughout this preparation. “We thought he was going to be at the tournament sitting around, getting bored so why not put him in and see how he goes’ says Mum Carmen Hihi. “The tournament allowed us to register him based on his brother’s New Zealand status so it was a way to reward his hard work in helping his brother prepare.”

Carlos had a tough division of 8yr and 9yr old boys. Most of the boys in his division had over 3 years experience in BJJ. Carlos has only been doing this sport since October 2012 and has a lot more to learn. Despite this Carlos fought his way to the top of the world, bringing home Gold in the No-Gi division and winning a bike for his efforts.

The tournament ran through the weekend of 20th and 21st July and both boys gained medal honours.
