Another Fantastic weekend for our AMMA TEAM!

It's been another FULL on weekend with our competition team and our kids.

Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Grading:

 Saturday morning saw our kids BJJ team sit their grading. It was a mixed 'tip' and 'belt' upgrade day, the kids have been preparing for this day for a little while now.

 As always, the kids did an amazing job and it was a pleasure to see the future grapplers of AMMA wearing their new coloured belts and new tips. Congratulations to all that graded.

3 out of  3 for our Muay Thai team!

BOOM! That is all that we can say. Saturday night was the night that the 3 warriors have been training for. The fighters were fit, healthy and ready to BANG!

From 'Coach Brett':

Winning team. Team Amma Gym.

3 fights 3 wins. Tarmizi Zain winning on points after a 3 round war. Phillip Warwicker winning in the 1st round with a well timed block that broke his opponents shin and David Kriel defending his state title and stopping his opponent, who didn't come out for the 3rd round. Well done boys so proud of your effort!

Arnold BJJ Clasic

We traveled to Melbourne once again to compete at the 2016 Arnold BJJ Classic event.

The team dropped down to three for the trip, a few of the guys had to pull out due to other commitments or injury.

Our team consisted of 2 Purple Belts and a Brown Belt - a strong team from AMMA.

I'm proud of these guys, they put in a great effort and came back with the results.

100% success rate of grabbing the Gold Medals!

The Weekend that was...

The TEAM at AMMA had their hands full this weekend.

 Our classes ran as per usual on Saturday - the club was packed and everyone was putting in 100% effort into their training.

The Muay Thai team then traveled to participate in the 'Inter Club Sparring Day' with 10 of our team jumping in to represent. The guys kicked off at 12:00 p.m. and finished at near 7:30 p.m.

 For a full list & lots of photo's head to the Facebook page - AMMA GYM.

Sunday saw a small team from AMMA jump into the WA State No Gi titles (the first of 2) and we were pleased to see so many of our warriors take home the Gold. Our kids, Juniors and adults all put on an impressive display of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

 Our 2nd 8 week challenge came to an end on Sunday with the final weigh in taking place at midday.

 The results were amazing and it was so good to see the people that put the effort in get the results that they deserved. We look forward to hearing the stories and looking forward to our next group starting off in April.

 - Well done and thanks again for all the support and effort that you all put in, we are proud of you.

Muay Thai Fights this coming Sunday September 27th

This coming Sunday these four AMMA GYM Muay Thai warriors step into the ring, Jason fighting his first full thai rules fight as a senior without pads and the other three, Tarmizi, Alan & James fighting to claim a spot and make the next step onto the Australian Team headed to Sweden next year.

3 Big Events, 1 weekend - AMMA GYM in the spot light again!

The weekend just gone has been a HUGE one!

Adam travelled with a few of the fellow Machado Grapplers from Western Australia to compete in the annual 'The Gathering' Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition.

The results were amazing! Tyrone (Toots) took out the double gold! Weight division and absolute. He never looked in trouble and dominated all that he fought. 

 Adam Jacques landed a perfect flying arm-bar (again) and had his opponent tapping before he hit the ground! Adam only lost to Tyrone in the final, amazing to have AMMA as 1 and 2 in the division.

News from the WEST!

Our grappling team also competed in the 'WA BJJ Invitational' competition held on Sunday.

 Peter Parsons took out the GOLD in his weight division.

 Dion took out the GOLD in his weight division.

 Patrick took out the SILVER in his weight division.

 CJ took out the BRONZE in his weight division.

 Huge Thanks to Gavin Taylor for helping out on the day.

MMA Event!

On the same weekend as all the above, our Purple Belt JED stepped into the ring to compete in an MMA Event. Jed has had numerous fights and stepped up to a very strong opponent.

 The fight was looking good with the landing some decent strikes from standing. 

 One small mistake saw Jed on his back with his opponent in his guard. Jed controlled this well, throwing up a few submission attempts - however it wasn't his day and unfortunately lost via a choke.

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.

 As a coach, I could not be more proud of the team, the work load and training ethics that has been built into our culture and above all - the whole atmosphere that the people at AMMA have created.

 Keep doing what you guys and gals are doing, its really impressive!

 Senior BJJ Coach,
