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.
