On June 29, 2025, the Victorian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu League (VBJJL) held a major event at Monash University’s Clayton Campus, bringing together some of the state’s most talented athletes in a full day of high-level competition.
Among the standout performers was Yusuf Bekai, proudly representing G-Force Mixed Martial Arts. Yusuf delivered a dominant showing across both the Boys Gi and No-Gi divisions, showcasing technical skill, composure, and the warrior spirit that defines the GFORCE name.
Adding to the team’s success, fellow athletes Ziyah, Harland, Xavier, Jayden, and Marlee also shone brightly on the mats — each demonstrating courage, discipline, and grit in every match.
Traditionally, combat sports were often considered male-dominated, but in recent years, the presence and influence of women in BJJ have shattered these stereotypes. Women are not just participating; they're excelling, proving that dedication and passion know no gender. Grading in BJJ provides a platform for women to showcase their skills and defy preconceived notions about their abilities.
The grading system in BJJ ensures that women's progress and skills are acknowledged and celebrated. It's a validation of their hard work, dedication, and perseverance on the mats. Achieving a higher belt rank is a testament to their expertise and a proud moment that serves as motivation to continue honing their skills.
