🇦🇺🥊 A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO THE ISKA TEAM AUSTRALIA COACHES 🇦🇺🥊

Behind every athlete who steps onto the international stage is a team of people working tirelessly behind the scenes.

The success of ISKA Team Australia at the ISKA Asia Open Championships would not have been possible without the incredible commitment and dedication of our coaching team.

🇦🇺 OUR ISKA AUSTRALIA COACHES 🇦🇺

🥊 Dennis O’Dea – Dynamite Victoria
🥊 Jojo “Tiger” Ancagas – JTA Brisbane
🥊 Alejandro Urbina – Rogue MMA NSW
🥊 J Bullock – Team Elite Brisbane
🇦🇺 ISKA Australia National Director

These coaches devoted countless hours to supporting our Australian athletes — preparing fighters, cornering bouts, helping with match-ups, managing athletes between competitions and making sure our team was ready every time they stepped onto the international stage.

They gave their time, knowledge and experience freely for the benefit of Team Australia.

🏆 THE MEDALS BELONG TO THE ATHLETES — BUT THE SUCCESS BELONGS TO THE TEAM.

Every Gold, Silver and Bronze medal represents not only the hard work of the athlete, but also the coaches, families and teams behind them.

Without these coaches, this trip and these results would not have been possible.

A sincere thank you from ISKA Australia to Dennis, Jojo, Alejandro and Jeff for putting the team first and giving so much of yourselves to our athletes.

🇳🇿 A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ISKA NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿

We also want to recognise Wayne Vaega, the ISKA New Zealand Director, who took on the enormous responsibility of serving as both Director and Head Coach for Team New Zealand.

Wayne worked tirelessly throughout the tournament supporting the New Zealand athletes and helping them perform at their best on the international stage.

🇳🇿 Director. Head Coach. Team Leader.

A huge thank you, Wayne, for your commitment to ISKA New Zealand and for helping make the Asia Championships such a success for the Kiwi team.

🌏 THIS IS WHAT TEAM IS ALL ABOUT.

Australia 🇦🇺
New Zealand 🇳🇿
One ISKA family.

The athletes step through the ropes, but they never step through them alone.

To all our coaches — thank you for everything you do.

Now we turn our attention to the next challenge…

🌟 SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

A special congratulations to Boadicea Hoffman and Adam Parsons.

Boadicea stepped onto the international stage in the U14 Female K1 division, returning home with a well-earned Silver Medal. 🇦🇺🥈

And a special mention to Adam Parsons, who stepped outside the disciplines he normally competes in to proudly represent Australia in Performance Kata, earning a Bronze Medal.

Sometimes representing your country isn’t about competing in your usual discipline — it’s about having the courage to step forward, participate and be part of the team.

Adam should be extremely proud of his achievement, and we are proud to have him representing ISKA Team Australia. 🇦🇺👏

🌟🇦🇺 STANDOUT PERFORMANCE – ISAIAH GIRREN 🇦🇺🌟 pictured here with his brother Josh another Gold Medalist.

🏆 FOUR GOLD MEDALS – FOUR DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES 🏆

A special acknowledgment must go to Isaiah Girren for an outstanding performance at the ISKA Asia Open Championships.

Isaiah normally competes in Muay Thai and K1, but on this occasion he stepped outside his usual disciplines and took on some completely different challenges — giving other Australian athletes the opportunity to shine in his normal divisions.

And what did he do?

🥇🥇🥇🥇 FOUR GOLD MEDALS!

🥇 Boxing
🥇 MMA
🥇 BJJ Gi
🥇 BJJ No-Gi

This is a fantastic example of a true martial artist.

Isaiah was prepared to step outside his comfort zone, test himself in different disciplines and support the wider ISKA Team Australia rather than simply taking opportunities in the divisions he normally contests.

His willingness to compete across multiple disciplines helped create opportunities for other Australian fighters in Muay Thai and K1, while Isaiah challenged himself in areas outside his usual competition experience.

💪 THAT’S TEAMWORK. THAT’S MARTIAL ARTS. 🇦🇺

Four disciplines.
Four Gold Medals.
One incredible performance.

Isaiah’s results demonstrate versatility, courage, adaptability and a genuine team-first attitude.

Congratulations Isaiah Girren — an outstanding performance and a great example of what representing Australia is all about. 🇦🇺🏆
