As Team IZZA looks ahead to an exciting 2026 competition season, we are proud and honoured to announce the newest addition to our coaching team.
Please join us in welcoming Coach Adam Akasyah to the IZZA Family! 🥋🔥
Coach Adam is one of Malaysia's most accomplished Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors and a member of the Malaysian National Team. As a Black Belt with years of elite-level competition experience, he brings an incredible wealth of knowledge that will benefit every member of our academy—from complete beginners to our highest-level competitors.
An Elite Competition Resume
Coach Adam has consistently proven himself on some of the biggest stages in the region and beyond.
His achievements include:
- 🥇 3× IBJJF Open Gold Medalist
- 🥇 2× ADCC Open Pro Division Gold Medalist
- 🥉 3× Southeast Asian Games Medalist
- 🌍 Ranked #23 in the World (JJIF Rankings)
- 🇲🇾 Malaysian National Team Athlete
These accomplishments reflect years of dedication, discipline, and competing against some of the best grapplers in the world.
Now, our students will have the opportunity to learn directly from someone who has lived that journey.
Raising the Standard
Coach Adam will be leading many of our classes throughout the week, sharing not only his technical knowledge but also the mindset, preparation, and experience required to succeed at the highest levels of competition.
For our competitors, his guidance will provide invaluable insight into modern competition strategy, match preparation, and high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
For our recreational students, it means learning from one of Malaysia's very best in an environment that remains welcoming, supportive, and focused on continuous improvement.
Every coach brings a unique perspective, and we're excited about the new ideas, techniques, and energy Coach Adam will bring to Team IZZA.
A Reflection of Our Growth
One of the things that makes this announcement particularly meaningful is what it says about the direction of our academy.
In just a short time, Team IZZA has grown into one of Malaysia's leading competition academies. Along the way, we've been fortunate to attract not only talented students but also high-calibre coaches and athletes who believe in our vision.
The fact that someone of Coach Adam's experience is genuinely excited to join Team IZZA is a testament to the culture we've worked hard to build—a culture based on excellence, humility, teamwork, and a shared commitment to helping one another improve.
As our academy continues to grow, our goal remains the same: to provide our members with world-class coaching while maintaining the welcoming family atmosphere that has defined Team IZZA from day one.
Looking Ahead to 2026
After an unforgettable 2025 season that saw Team IZZA finish as the #1 ASJJF Team in Malaysia for both Adults and Kids, we have no intention of slowing down.
With Coach Adam joining an already strong coaching team, we're excited to see what the next chapter holds.
Together with our athletes, coaches, parents, and supporters, we're ready to take the 2026 competition season to an even higher level, Insha'Allah.
Welcome to the Family
Coach Adam, thank you for placing your trust in Team IZZA.
We're honoured to have you with us and look forward to learning, growing, and achieving great things together.
May Allah place barakah in this partnership, grant success to our students and coaches, and allow us to continue representing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with excellence, humility, and good character.
Welcome to the IZZA Family, Coach Adam. The journey continues. 💙🥋🔥
