After winning No-Gi Worlds at purple belt, Helena Crevar was promoted to brown belt in just three months.
Helena Crevar’s Brown Belt Promotion
Helena Crevar has quickly become one of the best No-Gi grapplers in the world. The teenage Jiu-Jitsu phenom has crushed the competition from blue belt to black belt.
The Polaris champion and ADCC medalist made easy work of her opponents at the 2024 No-Gi Worlds at purple belt. John Danaher had seen enough and quickly promoted his top student to brown belt.
Criticism From Some Annoying BJJ Fans
There is a very small group of BJJ fans who are criticizing Helena Crevar’s quick promotion to brown belt. The response from most of the BJJ community to this small group was to just shut up.
A year ago, people were criticizing Helena for competing at blue belt. Now some are criticizing Crevar’s quick promotion to brown belt after just three months at purple belt.
If you’ve been living under a rock, Helena Crevar is already a black belt champion-level athlete. She’s the reigning Polaris champion and nearly won the 2024 ADCC Championship.
John Danaher knows what he’s doing and in his view, Helena is right where she should be.
Big congratulations to Helena for her promotion and adding another world title to her resume. We’ll definitely be seeing the young phenom add more titles to her collection in the future.
