We are approaching the final ADCC regional trials, the second Asian & Oceanic Trials, and 8 more athletes will be earning their entry into the ADCC World Championships. 

You are eligible to compete in these trials if you have citizenship in any country that falls within the Asian or Oceanic regions, and can provide documentation at weigh ins. The tournament will take place May 11th in Bangkok, Thailand. All of the action will be streaming live on FloGrappling.

So far, 44 people have earned official entry into the ADCC World Championships through the Trials process. You can find that list here.

In the first Trials, some of the strongest names in the region took the mats and punched their ticket to Worlds - including Izaak Michell, Kenta Iwamoto, and Josh Saunders. Now this event becomes the final opportunity for these athletes to make their dream happen and compete at ADCC. This is also the only opportunity that the female athletes get, and the Oceanic region has been producing some stellar women's grappling talent like Adele "Daddy" Fornarino and Nadia Frankland.
