But Abdul’s ambitions don’t stop here. He is already setting his sights higher, aiming to participate in the World No Gi Championship in Las Vegas later this year. With such unwavering determination, it’s clear that Abdul is on a trajectory that could very well see him crowned as a World Champion, inshaAllah.
Beyond his personal ambitions, Abdul harbours a deeper goal. Hailing from Tower Hamlets, he’s keenly aware of the challenges and negative influences that many young people face in the community. By showcasing his dedication, discipline and the rewards that martial arts can bring, he hopes to inspire the youth of Tower Hamlets. The dream of The Grapple Hub is to see them not only take up martial arts but also to aim for the world’s grandest stages.
In conclusion, while Abdul Hannan’s recent victory is certainly commendable, it’s his vision for the future – both his own and that of the youth of Tower Hamlets – that truly stands out. As he continues his journey in the world of martial arts, there’s no doubt that many will be watching, drawing inspiration and perhaps even following in his footsteps. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
