Queen Creek girl, 9, scores jiu-jitsu championship
- Nine-year-old Eden Armstrong of Queen Creek won her division at the 2026 International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation's Pan Kids No-Gi Championship in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
- She finished first in a division of eight girls, adding to a record that includes world titles in Long Beach and a bronze in Brazil.
- Eden has trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for less than two years under world champion Marcio Andre, and her mother says the win reflects the work she has put in.
