What an unforgettable experience in Almaty 🇰🇿🙏
A huge thank you to the entire AIGA team for their incredible hospitality and professionalism throughout this year’s competition. We’re proud to have taken home the team championship and the $500,000 prize — but even more grateful for the way we were treated every step of the way.
From start to finish, Tolegan Kumarov, Kairat Dushekenov, and Sayat Salman went above and beyond for our team. Whatever we needed, they made it happen. Their generosity, warmth, and attention to detail made this a truly unforgettable experience.
Not only was the event world-class, but Kazakhstan itself is absolutely beautiful — clean, peaceful, and home to some of the kindest people we’ve ever met. The pride and love Kazakhstani people have for their country is inspiring, and it was a true honor to be there.
AIGA is playing a major role in the growth of jiu-jitsu across the globe, and in Kazakhstan — and it shows. Much respect to everyone involved. We’re honored to have been a part of this year’s event. 👊🇰🇿
