To be flown across the world, and taken to a phenomenal competition in a remote location on a tropical island is one thing! But, to immerse ourselves as a team in all facets, through the heat, rain, sand, ocean and forest; is priceless! Awesome friendships and epic experiences were made. It’s a once in a life-time opportunity that I won’t forget, ever!

UFC Bali was the most incredible experience that i could have done with my husband. It took us to places that we wouldn’t have normally gone and pushed us to places and do things i would never have normally done. Meeting the most awesome people and creating lifelong friendships. This was the best thing for my marriage and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to go and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you to the organisation for taking us to paradise! Looking forward to 2017!

The Australian representatives had to quickly form a team and try to outwit and outperform other nations under the stress of the intense competition that was the UFC Bali. Coming up against equally strong, agile and focused competitors we found the UFC Bali arena to be a physical, emotional and mentally demanding event. Often weary and with a few battle scars we were always ready with a can do attitude. With grit and determination we overcame the UFC Bali obstacles and in the process we came away with life-long friends, great memories and also the desire and motivation to be Stronger, Fitter and Faster! Thank you to the organisers and sponsors for the opportunity to be part of something totally awesome – what an adventure!

As always we didn’t know what to expect from the competition, except that it would be though. The location, Bali was beautiful, but the downside was that it made the competition even harder because of the exhausting heat. It was an amazing and exciting experience where we with 6 contestants off a very small country like Belgium could we compete against big country’s like Canada, Australia, USA and South Africa? The atmosphere and spirit was so great. During the game we were each other’s fierce opponents, but on the side line we were cheering for everyone. It was one big family. For the people who want to go next time, JUST DO IT. You have to train hard and not just 2 months, but a whole year around in different kinds off sports. When you get there you will have fun. The location, the atmosphere and last but not least the sports are amazing. As Belgium the Dutch are always the people we want to win from, but in this competition we saw from the beginning that they wouldn’t be a threat for our team. Go for it, Team Belgium!
