Your Kingz World Champs Are...
These days, the competition season never really takes a break, but the IBJJF World Championships have long been considered the apex of the season, the event everyone waits all year for. This year did not disappoint!
Athletes from around the globe gathered to that iconic venue - the Walter Pyramid - to compete among the best of the best, in hopes of earning the coveted title of "world champion." The divisions were packed with well-known faces of the sport, as well as fresh up-and-comers. Newly minted black belts were hungry to take the title from established veterans.
And boy was it exciting! We saw crazy matches, close calls, and incredible upsets. There were a lot of tears - of sorrow and joy - spilled on the mat. But win or lose, we felt like the Kingz team showed up and gave their all, and we can't be more proud. Congrats to everyone who compete, for you represented your teams and us so well!
