State, Australian and National Champions!

The last two weekends has been very productive for The Academy of Mixed Martial Arts.

 David Kriel and Gavin Taylor both fought on the weekend of August 15th and we had a great night.

 David fought for the WKA State Muay Thai title and won via 'cut' early in the second round. He has been training exceptionally hard for this fight and did an amazing job.

 Gavin took the fight (4 man round robin) on a few days notice and weighed in the lightest (by a few kilo) in the event. Gav won the first knock out round and headed into the final. The fight was tough and Gav was ahead on points going into the final 30 seconds however a slick little move from his opponents caught Gav in a deep triangle from which he ended up tapping to.

 We are proud of both of our warriors and are team that supported and helped to prepare them.

The warriors after the war!

Some of the team that came down to show support for our warriors.

The weekend just gone has been a whirl wind! 

 Adam headed to Melbourne on Saturday to corner his grappling team that competed in the Grappling Industries 'Submission Only' round robin event.

 The three competitors were Tim, Jazzy and Kristina. I'm proud to announce that all of them took out a Gold Medal as well as a few others. 

 The team have said that it was one of the best competitions that they have been to and would be very keen to compete in the next one.

Next Stop - Adelaide!

Our next competitor was Jake O'Driscol that was competing in the Australia Cup.Jake took out the Gold in his Gi weight division, Silver in his No-Gi weight division and Bronze in the Open Weight No Gi division. Great weekend, great results and we are proud of our competitors.
