Army veteran Joey Bozik, a triple amputee, won his first competitive jiu-jitsu match at the weekend as he competed in his eighth tournament.

Per Marie Saavedra of WFAA.com, Bozik enjoyed his first competitive win in Round Rock, Texas, courtesy of a wrist lock in the final minute of the contest.

Bozik, who lost both of his legs and an arm in 2004 while serving in Iraq, has been competing in jiu-jitsu for the last three years but failed to win a match in his first seven tournaments.
