Aguilar won two bouts in a three-athlete round-robin at 59 kg/130 lbs. to capture the gold medal.

Big Congrats to Jessica who is only a blue belt under Parrumpinha. This is her first World Championship and I'm sure there will be more to come in her future.
She is also one of the instructors at ATT Coconut Creek for our kids program. I'm sure all her "Little Champions" will be very proud of as well!
Job well done - Congrats Jess!
