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. 

A statement from the RGP follows below:

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.”
