Big congratulations to Lily on placing second at the ADCC Asia & Oceania Trials in the women’s 65+ division. This was Lily’s first trials and she had a great run in the pool of 17 athletes, getting 3 submissions in quick succession before losing a closely contested final on points. This is an incredible result for the young kiwi girl who’s been chasing different events in different codes all over the globe.. take a fast mental reset Lily, Phillipines is calling tomorrow for the International SAMBO Federation (FIAS) Asian champs!

DA NANG 2026 • Final night in Vietnam for Team NZ at the 2026 Asia & Oceania Championships. It’s been a huge week of competition between Grappling and MMA for all age groups - but hidden amongst all the sporting lessons, there are life experiences banked outside the arena. Cultural enrichment and team bonding = personal growth. Proud of our young athletes and our community that got behind them and supported their trip here. Tu meke!
