Ascend Jiu Jitsu Mount Gambier

24/08/2026

Big day for the team a couple weeks ago. Smaller comp numbers than usual, but the crew showed up and we managed to finish 4th overall in the team rankings at Grappling Industries Adelaide.

The biggest win of the day is seeing the growth of the team — more people stepping up, getting out there and improving every comp.

Proud of the crew and grateful to have The MatLab Grappling Academy & lopezjonesjiujitsu in our corner.

Solid effort from the team at Grappling Industries last month 🥇🥇🥈🥈.

Late post but we've been busy getting ready for the next one in August.

Drew and Seth both stepped on to the mats to compete for the first time, neither having any martial art or combat sports experience and had a great time.
