A Royal Gibraltar Police officer is celebrating after winning a gold and silver medal at a Brazilian Ju-Jitsu competition for police officers in Scotland last Saturday.

PC William Danino, 25, had four fights during the one day event, winning three by submission and losing one by points. 

The Team Police Brazilian Ju-Jitsu competition was held at Jackton Police Training College in Glasgow and saw 219 police officers from UK police forces square up against each other.

William, who is a Response Team 3 officer and trains at Angry Chill Ju-Jitsu Club in Gibraltar, said: “It was a very rewarding feeling to win a gold and silver medal, especially after my coaches and team mates put in a lot of work to help me get ready for the competition. I’m very pleased to see the sport becoming popular amongst police officers in the UK.”
