As 2016 comes to a close we look back at one of the greatest years jiu-jitsu has ever seen. 

From earth-shattering matches at incredible events, to some of the memorable moments ever seen in the sport, 2016 has been one hell of a year for jiu-jitsu. 

This is one of the few times of the year we get to kick back, relax and reflect back on what an incredible ride it's been. 

As you rest your body from the rigors of the sport, take some time to engage your mind. 

Go back and watch our incredible library of FloFilm documentaries, including pieces on standout black belts such as Mackenzie Dern, Bernardo Faria, Garry Tonon and Eddie Bravo. 

Study up on techniques ready to unleash on your training partners when you go back to the gym. They'll never know what hit them. 

Relive the action from some of the biggest events of the year -- from Copa Podio and UAEJJF to Fight To Win and IBJJF. 

Happy holidays from all of us here at FloGrappling. And don't forget to vote in our end of year Awards!
