Teshya Noelani Alo: The Multifaceted World-Class Grappler
Teshya Noelani Alo, hailing from the United States, is not just a world-class grappler but also a successful professional stuntwoman. The proud Hawaiian has made a name for herself in the world of martial arts, excelling in wrestling, judo, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. However, her talents extend beyond the mats as she has found success in front of the camera as well.

As she prepares to make her promotional debut against Helena Crevar at ONE Fight Night 39, Alo emphasizes the importance of maintaining her wrestling and judo skills, stating, “I will always keep up with my wrestling and judo, it’s like riding a bike for me. I’ll always keep up with it just so I never lose it.”
ONE Fight Night 39, where Alo will face off against Crevar, is set to air live in U.S. primetime. Fans can catch the full event for free with a Prime Video subscription in North America.
