This weekend seen Ultimate Combat enter an 8 man team in the Pan Pacific Victorian BJJ Championships with Teariki.T from our teens class coming out victorious with 1st Place and a shiny gold medal to show for it, well done champ!
The rest of the team showed great potential with Jason.N & James.M both winning a 1st couple of matches in no-gi and then just missing out on making the final losing their last matches, both a solid effort. majority of the team being 1st timers on the competion scene so a very impressive performance even those who didn't win showed a lot of heart and gave 100% in true Ultimate Combat spirit! Keep up the good work guys you can only get better! Thanks to all those who came and supported.
