9)Prvi BJJ Montenegro Open, koji je okupio 203 takmicara iz Hrvatske, Ukrajine, Makedonije, Srbije, Bosne i Hercegovine i Crne Gore.
-Treba posebno naglasiti da je naš klub ove godine uspio da obilježi deset godina postojanja organizacijom prvog ikad zvaničnog takmičenja u Crnoj Gori: 1. Brazilski džiu džicu Montenegro Open u disciplinama GI i NO GI, koje je postiglo veliki uspjeh okupivši 14 timova iz 6 drzava. Na Montenegro Openu smo takođe osvojili pehar za najuspješniji domaci klub a pritom smo i glavni ,,krivci“ sto je pehar ukupnog timskog pobjednika po afiliaciji pripao BJJ A-Force Montenegro (koji čine BJJK Mata Leao i BJJK Stara Varos iz Podgoricie kao i BJJK Kotor). Montenegro Open naišao je na odlican odziv timova Balkana i Evrope a sudeći po ocjenama gostiju i medija nije nimalo razočarao.
–Takođe ističemo da je ove godine BJJK Mata Leao uspio da se popne visoko na ljetvici ekipnih plasmana na dva prestižna takmičenja u Italiji. Na Italia BJJ Openu, Firenca, u konkurenciji 103 tima, 1172 takmičara (iz Italije, Švajcarske, Portugala, Crne Gore, Grčke, Slovenije, Moldavije, Česke i Tunisa) zauzeli smo 4. mjesto u ukupnom plasmanu u disciplini GI (kimono) za seniore i plasirani smo kao 9. tim u NO GI disciplini (bez kimona) za seniore. Na Mittel Europe Openu, Trst, u konkurenciji 23 tima (Italija, Hrvatska, Srbija, Slovenija, Crna Gora, Tunis, Guam, Japan, Brazil, Moldavija) Mata Leao A-Force BJJ MNE bio je takođe plasiran kao 4 u seniorskoj konkurenciji i cak 2. u ukupnom plasmanu juniora.
-U julu smo organizovali višednevni seminar, koji je održao naš mentor iz Nju Jorka, SAD, Andre „Tim“ Monteiro koji je nesebično podijelio svoje znanje sa nama o najnovijim tendencijama i trendovima u brazlskom džiu džicu a pojedini istaknuti članovi promovisani su i u viša učenička zvanja.
-2016. godina će takođe ostati zabilježena po tome sto označava prvu i veoma trofejnu takmičarsku sezonu u kojoj je Crna Gora imala predstavnike u najcijenjenijoj diviziji crnih pojaseva na zvaničnim takmičenjima jedine svjetske federacije brazilskog džiu džicua IBJJF ( Mladena Jokmanovića i Marka Jokmanovića).
Posebnu napomenu zaslužuje i prvi prekookeanski nastup članova našeg kluba u Kanadi na IBJJF Toronto Openu na kojim smo osvojili zlato (Srđan Bošković) i četiri bronze.
-Prilikom posjete Kanadi naši treneri Mladen Jokmanović i Marko Jokmanović imali su priliku da kao gostujuci predavači održe trening u poznatoj kanadskoj Empire MMA akademiji borilačkih vještina i ostavili su impresivan utisak na Kanadjane.
– Interesantno je da jedna posebna varijanta,odnosno inovacija poluge na nozi koju gaji naš klub, od ove godine u S.A.D-u i Kanadi nosi ime “Montenegro lock“ čime smo ostavili znacajan trag u ovom sportu što za nas predstavlja veliku čast. Ova varijacija koja našim članovima donosi veliki broj pobjeda na međunarodnoj sceni takođe nije ostala nezapažena u pojedinim onlajn medijima iz Italije koji su skrenuli pažnju na tu tehniku nakon Italija BJJ Opena.

Čestitke svim članovima kluba na uspješno odrađenoj takmičarkoj sezoni i još jednoj godini druženja kroz brazilski džiu džicu.

Mata Leao was awarded the best Montenegrin club trophy based on the number of medals at Montenegro Open and we were also a significant constituent of A-Force BJJ Montenegro which took overall first place team trophy at the competition. Montenegrin media and guests from abroad gave us great impressions and feedback about the competition.
-We also proudly emphasize that in 2016, as a team we managed to climb high up the lists of team results of two very prestigious competitions. Italia BJJ Open, Firenze, 103 teams, 1172 competitors, we placed 4th in adult GI and 9th in adult NO GI. At the Mittel Europe Open, Trieste, among 23 teams Mata Leao A-Force BJJ MNE was 4th in adult GI and 2nd in juvenile GI team results.
-In July we organized Brazilian jiu jitsu seminar of our professor and mentor Andre „Tim“ Monteiro who came to Montenegro from New York. Professor Monteiro shared his knowledge to our members and some members were promoted to higher ranks.

-2016 will also be remembered as the first year in which Montenegro had successful representatives in the most prestigious division of this sport- black belt, as Mladen Jokmanovic and Marko Jokmanovic had notable results at IBJJF and other competitions.
-Special mention also goes to the first overseas IBJJF competition we did in 2016- IBJJF Toronto Open in Canada, where we won one gold (Srdjan Boskovic) and 4 bronze medals. During our stay in Canada our coaches, Mladen and Marko Jokmanovic, had an opportunity to teach and share their knowledge as guests at Empire MMA academy.
-One of the highlights of 2016 is that our variation of footlock, innovated in the club, that we demonstrated, both in combat and in training, during our stay in Canada, was named “Montenegro lock“ by couple of schools in USA and Canada who asked us about it, which is a great honor and pleasure for us. This technique which brings many victories to our competitors at the international level, was also mentioned in some Italian online BJJ reports after Italian BJJ Open, who also wrote about it.

Congratulations to all club members on a successful competition season and another year of walking the BJJ road together.
