Dominance MMA Abbotsford

A few competition recaps coming up before Nationals...

Starting with Grappling Industries last month, where we had 28 athletes compete and almost all of them make it onto the podium.

Dominance finished with:
14 gold medals 🥇
15 silver medals 🥈
4 bronze medals 🥉

A brilliant effort from everyone who stepped onto the competition mats and put their training to the test, including many first-time competitors!

A big thank you to all of the coaches who spent the day cornering, and to the teammates who came along to support everyone competing.

Dominance take on the Asian Championships in Japan!

Recently we took a team of 19 Dominance athletes, plus friends from other academies, to compete in the 2026 IBJJF Asian Championships in Chiba, Japan.

Not only is this the biggest and most prestigious Gi competition in the Asia-Pacific region, but having the opportunity to compete in the spiritual home of the martial arts is something our team was very excited for.

Over the course of 5 days of competition, we supported one another as we showcased our Jiu Jitsu and team camaraderie, ultimately crowning 6 Asian Champions and collecting 18 medals. We also finished with a top 10 placing in the Masters team category.

Sharing the mats together in Japan was amazing moment and many great memories were built during our trip. Thank you to our Japanese friends Arta BJJ Hiroo, Sakura Jiu Jitsu and Carpe Diem for sharing your mats with us in the lead up to the competition. And thank you to BYOU Media for capturing the moments.

Mid-Year Kids Grading

Congratulations to all of our kids on earning their new belts and stripes! 🥋🎉

Watching these young athletes grow together is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Every grading represents months of hard work, consistency, and perseverance as they continue to develop their Jiu-Jitsu skills, become stronger, and build resilience both on and off the mats.

A huge congratulations to everyone who graded!

At the start of the month, our Muay Thai team travelled to Strike Studio to compete in the Kick Start event—an opportunity designed to help develop the next generation of fighters.

Seven of our athletes stepped up and gave it their all, showcasing the hard work they’ve put in throughout camp. Every fighter represented the team with skill, heart, and determination.

Overall, it was a strong performance from the team, and we’re proud of everyone who stepped into the ring.

Last weekend our Muay Thai team competed at Muay Thai Victoria.

Sebastian Adinata had a close matchup against an opponent at a very similar skill level. After a slow first round, he edged out round 2 by split decision before completely shifting the momentum in round 3 to secure the win.

Charlie put together one of his best performances yet - staying composed under fire while landing sharp head kicks and keeping a relentless pace from start to finish to earn a dominant win.

Hugo controlled all 3 rounds against a tough opponent. He established his jab early, followed with heavy knees, and landed multiple elbows throughout the fight to take the win.

Sebastian Walker had a difficult matchup, fighting up at 71kg against a much taller and stronger opponent. The height and reach made it difficult to close the distance, with the other fighter using long knees and head kicks effectively. A tough fight, but an important learning experience and part of the process.

A strong weekend overall for the team and a great reflection of the work being done in the gym week after week.

Well done to everyone who stepped into the ring, as well as the coaches, training partners and supporters who help make these performances possible.

2026 AFBJJ Victorian State Championship.

What a weekend for the DOMINANCE team!
DOMINANCE finished the Victorian State Championships as the #1 ranked adult team in the state across all four divisions, alongside a 2nd place finish in the Juniors.

🥇 Female Gi Team
🥇 Male Gi Team
🥇 Female No Gi Team
🥇 Male No Gi Team
🥈 Junior Team

84 gold medals.
59 silver medals.
40 bronze medals.

An incredible effort across every division all weekend.

Behind the medals is thousands of hours on the mats. Hard rounds. Tough training sessions. Wins, losses, pressure, setbacks, breakthroughs and teammates pushing each other to improve every day.

Competition is only one part of training, but weekends like this are a reflection of the culture the team builds week after week.

We’re proud of everyone who stepped out there - first timers, experienced competitors, kids, adults, coaches and supporters alike.

Thank you to the entire DOMINANCE team.

Last month saw some of our team head over to Sydney to compete in the our first interstate competition of the year - the NSW State Championships.

The team had a great hit out leaving with 30 gold medals and some incredible performances. Dominance also had the best win/loss ratio of the Gi and No Gi standings and came away with the number 1 No Gi Team.

Every day in the gym we support and push each other and strive to become the best versions of ourselves and it shows on the competition mats. An amazing effort by all those who travelled and competed.

Victorian State Championships up next!

Last month, we competed at Grappling Industries - one of the first local events of the season for many of our athletes.

It was great to see such a strong turnout, with a mix of first-time competitors stepping onto the mats and more experienced athletes continuing to test themselves.

These events play an important role. New competitors gain valuable experience and push outside their comfort zone, while established athletes sharpen their skills and build momentum heading into the bigger competitions later in the season.

We’re proud to say Dominance MMA finished the day as #1 Overall Team.

A big congratulations to everyone who competed. It takes real courage to step out there and represent.

Thank you to the coaches, teammates and supporters who showed up and backed it throughout the day.

A strong start to the competition season!
