The IBJJF is dead serious about taking Jiu-Jitsu to every corner of the world.

This weekend, they held a flawless Melbourne International Open.

And, as usual, many GMA member academies took their students to compete.

Minol Tavares, from Equipe Master Wilson, was the open class and meddium heavy black belt master champion.

Tavares’ students also did great.

Black belt Paul Sayers won the senior 1 middleweight and came in second at the absolute.

At the blue belt, Anthony Pisano was the adult meddium heavy bronze medalist and Edwin Munian won the master middleweight and came second at the absolute.

White belt Marcus Kennedy won the adult heavyweight and white belt Martin Kerr came third at the same category.

Also GMA member Mario Yokoyama, leader of Ryan Gracie Oceania, was the master black belt featherweight champion and bronze medalist at the absolute.

Congrats to all!

First ever female black belt in Tasmania

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:11:44 +0000

GMA member Minol Tutida has some very special news.

His Master Wilson just graduated Tasmania’s first ever female black belt.

Minol should be extra happy once the new graduation was achieved by his wife Esther Tutida.

To make sure the accomplishment was the first of its kind in Australia, Tutida got in touch with the country’s federation.

Esther made the news

“They said there are no other females registered as black belt in Australia.” tells us Minol.

For sure, Esther is Grand Master Wilson’s first female black belt.

She started training in 2003 and since then she didn’t stop, not even when she was pregnant!
