If there’s one thing that can be said about fight sports, it’s they’re unpredictable.
This video proves it.
According to a Facebook post by Lloyd Irvin Jr., 14-year-old Sydney James was doing quite well at a recent NAGA competition. Irvin reported that she had beaten adult blue belts and eventually found herself taking on a black belt. James immediately pulled guard against the black belt, then went for a Kimura. As her black belt opponent tried to pass, Sydney pushed her onto her back and kept her there for the rest of the match.

14 Year Old TLI Green Belt Defeats BJJ Black Belt
(14 Year Old Team Lloyd Irvin Green Belt Defeats BJJ Black Belt) – TLI green belt Sydney James found herself with a black belt in her division this weekend. As a yellow & orange belt, she was beating adult blue belts in naga. She was forced to bump up per naga rules. She was excited to compete against the purple belts. But then discovered there was a legit black belt in her division and at the tender age of 14 she would have her first battle with a black belt in competition. We asked Master Donnie about it and he had this to say "If Sydney gets to her position she can beat anyone, I don't care who it is".TLI has an entire army of young BJJ killers that will be making a name for themselves in the adult divisions very soon. Keep your eye open for Sydney James aka The Amazing Spider Girl!
