Alliance Women

Luanna Alzuguir

Gabrielle Garcia:

Alliance sent two female competitors to the Abu Dhabi Professional Jiu-Jitsu Gi Competition. Both of our women won the Absolute divisions (heavy/ light). For this victory both earned $4000. The entire Alliance organization is proud of these two great competitors, and is excited to have such a strong women's team!

Below is an article from Graciemag.com discussing the 2 women, this was written just before our 2 ladies won!

The finalists vying for the gold medal and prize money of the Abu Dhabi World Pro in have all been defined for all weight classes.

The Female under-63 kg division is a repeat of the final of the Brazilian qualifiers in Gramado, a match that caused heated debate. Luanna Alzuguir will face Beatriz Mesquita. In Gramado, with shortened match duration, Bia won. Now the much-awaited showdown will take place.

In the over-63 kg division, Gabrielle Garcia was up to the tough task of facing Lana Stefanac, and is through to the decider, where she will face Luzia Fernandes.

With his gaze fixed on the matches, Sheikh Mohamad graced the gymnasium with his presence, on the second day of the tournament. With a bad knee, Rodolfo Vieira watches from the sidelines and offers his wager: “Demente takes the Absolute.” By his side, Durinho gives his: “Calsans wins it!”
