The 2023 World Championship black belt divisions have kicked off, and the open class finals in the mens and womens divisions are set. After a morning of great action, Victor Hugo, Erich Munis, Gabriela Pessanha, and Ana Carolina Vieira have punched their way through to the finals.

Gabriela Pessanha defeated Melissa Cueto in a back-and-forth exciting affair and Ana Carolina won out over Amy Campo in a close match on the opposite side.
