Daria Boduljak will represent Croatia at the 2026 JJIF World No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Championships. She will compete in the Adult -70 kg division and will become the first member of Ju-Jitsu Club Mizfits to earn a place on the Croatian national team. The championship takes place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at the Krešimir Ćosić Sports Hall in Zadar.
How did Daria Boduljak earn her place on the Croatian national team?
Daria earned her place through exceptional commitment and steady progress, backed by her results so far. The coaches see how seriously she works in every session. Daria listens, fixes small details, takes on hard rounds and returns to the mat with the same appetite to learn.
She has also gained competition experience at major Croatian tournaments. Each trip to the competition mat taught her something new, and Daria brought those lessons back to the academy and turned them into better training.
What does Daria’s selection mean for Ju-Jitsu Club Mizfits?
This is the first national team appearance in Mizfits history. The club was accepted into the Croatian Ju-Jitsu Federation in October 2024 (article in Croatian). Less than two years later, Mizfits has its first athlete on the Croatian national team.
Daria reached the national team through months of training, hard sparring, competitions and the quiet return to training after every event. She has done the work, day after day. That is why the coaches and the whole club are so proud of what she has achieved.
