Another Aussie World Champ

Local BJJ wiz, Maryanne Mulluhay, recently took gold at the prestigious World Brazilian Jiu Jitsu championships in California. Despite being up against sixteen of the best female grapplers in the world, Maryanne went through them all to become the first Australian women to bring home the gold from this event.
