Earlier this year, our Brazilian Jiujitsu team traveled to the Philippines to compete at the Manila Open organised the International Brazilian Jiujitsu Federation.

11 of them successfully brought home a medal each and some, brought home 2! This time round, our Monarchy BJJ Team of 9 repeated the same achievement at the International Masters Asia and Tokyo Open hosted by IBJJF just last month.

Our biggest and fastest growing kids class is our Kids BJJ class. We started out with only afew pairs of siblings, and now we have almost 20 per class with 2 branches running classes simultaneously!

This year we expanded and added a 3rd branch over in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.  

At our newest branch kids classes are available everyday with Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiujitsu and Wrestling.

But of course, we want to encourage that they come for all classes to experience the different forms of martial arts from striking, takedown and ground based martial arts.

WATCH THE FULL FIGHT!

In Malaysia, the number of women competing in Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiujitsu and Mixed Martial Arts has definitely increased over the years at a constant rate. There are many talented women at amateur level-where it all begins) including our very own Colleen Augustin!

Monarchy MMA has won the 5th edition of Copa da Malasia Grappling, the largest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament in Malaysia. During the 18th and 19th of March, nearly 300 amateur practitioners from different gyms from in and outside Malaysia took part in the competition in Jaya Shopping Center. Monarchy alone had 58 participants to test their skills against other opponents.

“The numbers never lie and there are no substitutes for hard work”

These are the words from Bruninho Barbosa, Monarchy MMA’s third degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black belt and Head Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Bruninho migrated to Malaysia to join the Monarchy MMA team. His dream and personal challenge was to establish Malaysia as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu hub in the greater Asia region. His goal was not only traditional Gi BJJ but also No-Gi submission BJJ and MMA.

The second BJJ KL OPEN took place during ASEAN FITNESS FESTIVAL and was a challenging event, due to many unforeseen circumstances. We are grateful to those, who saw the bigger picture, took part, put in their best efforts and we are happy to announce the winners.

CONGRATULATIONS TO GFTEAM MALAYSIA, ON THEIR 1ST PLACE in NO GI BJJ KL OPENT and
