IMPORTANT:

We are talking about travel to US to compete Masters Worlds and Jiu Jitsu CON in Vegas next year, 2027, around September. We have plenty of time to save money and make it. It seems it is bit far, but it pass very quick and the preparation for an event like that needs a good time to train and competing other competitions before it. This event is for all age groups as there will be Jiu Jitsu CON at the same week.

In between there will be many other local events, major competitions in Europe that we will be present. Stay tuned in the Whatsapp group, share your plans with the team so more people can join and compete.
