Ju-Jitsu Club Mizfits will compete at ADCC Croatia Open 2026 on Saturday, July 4, 2026, at Kresimir Cosic Sports Hall in Zadar. Registration closed on June 30, so the job now is simple: make weight, listen to the rules meeting and fight under ADCC rules.
Six Mizfits competitors are registered, with Ivo Vatavuk coaching from the side of the mat. For the club, this is another serious no-gi weekend and a return to a venue that already gave us a proper competition story last year. In 2025, Mizfits competed at ADCC Croatia Open 2025 in Zadar and came home with three medals for Mizfits.
Who is competing for Mizfits at ADCC Croatia Open 2026?
Mizfits is bringing athletes across adult beginner divisions and the boys 15 to 18 divisions. All competitors are registered under Ju-Jitsu Club Mizfits and the Mavericks Jiu Jitsu affiliation.
- Marin Vidan, Men Beginner, -70 kg
- Nikola Ercegović, Men Beginner, -76 kg
- Ante Zekan, Men Beginner, +100 kg
- Daria Boduljak, Women Beginner, -70 kg
- Luka Elez, Boys 15-18 yrs, -65 kg
- Andrija Košta, Boys 15-18 yrs, -70 kg
- Ivo Vatavuk, coach 18+
This young Mizfits group will be especially good to watch in an ADCC setting. Daria Boduljak, Luka Elez and Andrija Košta already have competition experience, and ADCC rules have a funny way of showing what habits are really there. You find out fast. A scramble, a bad grip, two seconds of hesitation, and suddenly the match has changed shape.
Where is ADCC Croatia Open 2026 held?
ADCC Croatia Open 2026 takes place at Kresimir Cosic Sports Hall, Splitska ulica 3, Zadar. The venue is available on Google Maps, and entry for spectators is free. Doors open one hour before the competition.
For people who can’t make the trip to Zadar, the organizer has announced a livestream. Official event details are listed on the Smoothcomp page for ADCC Croatia Open 2026, and the rules can be checked through the official ADCC rules documents.
Why is this tournament a good test for the team?
ADCC rules ask different questions than standard BJJ scoring. Wrestling entries matter. So do control, back takes, guard passing and submission threat. For beginner adults, that makes the match feel honest and a little uncomfortable. For younger athletes, it tests something even more useful: whether they can stay calm when the first scramble gets messy.
Mizfits has been putting regular work into no-gi training, competition rounds and a plain approach to grappling. Anyone who wants to start from zero can check our English page for visitors and new members at Mizfits BJJ Academy Split.

See you in Zadar
The team is registered, the brackets are filling up, and the last training sessions are there to sharpen the small things. Marin, Nikola, Ante, Daria, Luka and Andrija will carry Mizfits onto the mat, with Ivo in the coaching corner.
Good luck to everyone. No politics, just Jiu Jitsu. OSS!
