Meet Jaxon “The Prodigy” Bounauito, also known as Prince Jaxon—West Melbourne’s very own Jiu Jitsu wizard! With a name like that, you might expect him to ride in on a unicorn, but instead, he rolls onto the mat with the grace of a gazelle and the ferocity of a caffeinated squirrel.
This kid has faced off against some serious names in the No-Gi Grappling scene. You know, opponents like Gordon Ryan, Craig Jones, and the legendary Renato Laranja. If you’re wondering how he holds up against these titans, let’s just say he’s got more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a kid’s birthday party.
When Jaxon isn’t busy strutting his stuff as an ADCC contender or having casual chats with Dana White about his grand leap into the UFC, you can catch him honing his Grappling moves—or scheming his next acai bowl snack. After all, even the best grapplers need to refuel.
