Magnus Ruud

Frontline Academy competitor who earned blue-belt featherweight bronze in London's gi and no-gi Opens in 2016 and at the Rome Open in 2017.

Biography

Magnus Ruud competed for Frontline Academy at blue belt in IBJJF tournaments in London and Rome during 2016 and 2017. At the 2016 London Fall International Open, he took bronze in the men's adult blue-belt featherweight division. He also placed third in the corresponding no-gi event. IBJJF's results record him on both podiums, competing with the traditional gi uniform and without it. Ahead of the Rome competitions in March 2017, Grapplingbloggen named Ruud alongside Hakim Mazari and Karl Pegers among the Frontline blue belts to watch. The preview identified Ruud and Mazari with the main Norwegian academy. At the Rome International Open, Ruud went on to take bronze in men's adult blue-belt featherweight, again representing Frontline Academy.
