BJJ News — brasileiro

Something genuinely rare happened in jiu-jitsu: the IBJJF's oldest major championship hit a ceiling nobody had seen before. The Brasileiro — ten days of competition across every belt level from kids to black belt — sold out at exactly 8,000 registered competitors.

Mikey Musumeci has five IBJJF world titles. He's the first American to win multiple black belt world championships at IBJJF Worlds.

The IBJJF Brasileiro just hit 8,000 registered athletes. Eight thousand people signed up, paid their fees, and will descend on Barueri, São Paulo from April 24 to May 3 for the single largest jiu-jitsu competition ever held.

Six major grappling events are running today. By tonight, somebody you know will be on a podcast explaining that jiu-jitsu doesn't promote itself.
