JAMMU: Gul-e-Surkhab, Jammu and Kashmir's ace martial arts champion, has won two bronze medals in the first Asian Martial Arts Games held in Bangkok.

Surkhab, the state's first woman black belt, became the first woman from India to get two bronze medals in individual events in the martial arts games organised by Olympic Council of Asia.

She won the bronze medals in duo women and jujitsu women events in 62 kg category.

"I am thankful to the Jujitu Olympic Association of India for giving me the chance to represent my country at the international level," she said.
