Josh José Heske takes GOLD at the 2026 Oceania Championships in Apia, Samoa! 🥇🇦🇺

Joshua went straight into the final against Samoa’s Anthony Pati, and both boys put on a great display of boxing. Joshua got the win by split decision.

That makes it 11 fights already this year for Josh, with plenty more ahead. Next up: WA Golden Gloves, State Titles, then Nationals.

Very proud dad moment again!!! ❤️🥊

Let’s go Josh! 🔥

21 years ago, on April 23, 2005, at the Osaka Dome in Osaka, Japan, I had the incredible opportunity to help train and corner Hidehiko Yoshida for his fight against Wanderlei Silva at PRIDE Total Elimination 2005.

It was a clash between two titans of mixed martial arts. Wanderlei Silva, the ferocious Brazilian striker and reigning PRIDE Middleweight Champion, faced Hidehiko Yoshida, the celebrated Japanese judoka and Olympic gold medalist. The bout was a testament to the contrasting styles and indomitable spirit of both fighters.

I spent two months in Japan training alongside Yoshida, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Being around some of Japan’s biggest names in MMA at the time—training and mixing with fighters like Kazushi Sakuraba, Takanori “TK” Kato, Minoru Nakamura, Genki Sudo, and many others—was something truly special.

Japan was at the heart of MMA back then, and being there to help prepare Yoshida for such a massive PRIDE fight against Wanderlei Silva is a memory I’ll always be grateful for.

It’s hard to believe it was 21 years ago.

I’ve been travelling and coaching for close to 40 years, and every trip is different from the last.

There’s always blood, sweat and tears. There’s disappointment, achievements, plenty of ups and downs — but most of all, there’s laughter, good times and memories you carry with you.

This Queensland trip was definitely one of my favourites. A full week away with Jude Grant Lach Swann Taj Carlos Heske Katia Grossetti Josh José Heske, doing what we love and enjoying every bit of the journey along the way.

We came home with some great results, but even better memories.

Got some pretty sweet ones from this trip. ❤️🥊

What an awesome weekend at the AFBJJ in Melbourne. We brought a small team over Rinaldo De Paolis Melissa Duncan and CJ Heske this time but still had great results ending with 3x Golds, 4x Silvers and 5x Bronze medals, heaps to work on. IBJJF Pan Pacs October… Let’s ago!!!
