NY-BJJ:


Jiu-Jitsu to invade New York

IBJJF announces No-Gi Pan-Am
Another proof that Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t stop growing in the United States. Traditionally concentrated in California, the biggest gi events (Worlds and Pan-American) will now have the company of a “cousin” on the East Coast. The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJFF) has just announced the creation of the No-Gi Pan-American Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

The competition is scheduled for the 4th of October, and will be held at the traditional New York City College.
The promoters’ expectation is for the no-gi Pan to attain the same success as the no-gi Worlds, whose second edition is set for the 9th and 10th of August, in Carson, California.
Stay tuned for more information on the No-Gi Pan-American
