Mohammed Abdulkereem has just become the first Iraqi athlete to reach the podium at an AJP Grand Slam, taking 3rd place in the Men’s White Belt / Amateur / Welterweight (-77kg) division at the AJP Tour Grand Slam – Abu Dhabi National Pro!
This incredible achievement also ranks him as #1 in Iraq in his division on the AJP Tour.
Mohammed fought like a warrior through a stacked bracket, finishing his white belt journey with a historic bronze — and stepping confidently into the blue belt ranks.
A proud moment for Renzo Gracie Team Elwany, for Iraq, and for the growing Jiu-Jitsu community across the region.
We’re just getting started.
