Alex Enriquez

Biography

Alex Enriquez is a Filipino-born American black belt and a standout wrestling-style grappler representing Atos Jiu-Jitsu in Atlanta. Training under featherweight legend Bruno Frazatto, Enriquez has established herself as one of the most technical and physically dominant athletes of her era.

Enriquez's grappling is heavily shaped by her extensive background in collegiate and freestyle wrestling. She was an All-American wrestler at Life University and a high school standout who captained an all-male varsity team—experiences that forged her aggressive, takedown-heavy approach to submission grappling.

Her competitive career reached a high point in 2023 when she won the IBJJF No-Gi Worlds at black belt. She is also a multiple-time IBJJF Pan American Champion (Gi and No-Gi) and won the East Coast ADCC Trials in 2023, earning her place at the 2024 ADCC World Championships. In 2025, Enriquez continued to compete on elite stages, including multiple appearances for the UFC circuit, where she secured several high-profile submission victories.

Technically, Enriquez is known for her explosive guard passing, relentless pressure, and precision in back attacks. She frequently finishes opponents with the rear naked and armbar, using her wrestling base to dictate tempo, neutralize guard retention attempts, and transition to dominant control. Beyond competition, she is a dedicated coach at Atos Atlanta and an influential advocate for integrating wrestling fundamentals into women’s jiu-jitsu development.
