Meet the Kingz World Champions
There are very few events in Brazilian jiu-jitsu calendar that generate as much excitement as the IBJJF World Championships. For many in the BJJ community, the chance at being able to call yourself a "World Champion" is the ultimate dream.
Indeed, every year, thousands of jiu-jitsu competitors converge on the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach just for that very chance. Divisions are filled with fierce competition - both seasoned veterans and new faces ready to make a name for themselves. For all but a very few, that chance eludes them... leaving them hungry to get back on the mat and return again the following year.
For those very few, however, all of their hard work and dedication over the past year culminated in that one glorious moment: standing on the top of the podium as the 2025 IBJJF World Champion.
An amazing nine on our Kingz Athletes team were among those who achieved that coveted dream! Not only that, but FIVE of them leveled up as they did so!
