The IBJJF just released the brackets for the 2020 No-Gi Pan Championships. The event kicks off on Saturday, Nov 21, and the black belts take the mats on Sunday, Nov 22. Want to make sure you don’t miss any of the action from your favorite athletes? Here are the key players, and when to tune in to catch their opening-round matches.

It did not take long for registration to close for No-Gi Pans. The IBJJF announced the Pan No-Gi Championships and it has reached capacity very quickly. Here are the key names to watch in each black belt division.

The long-anticipated IBJJF Pan Championships will soon be underway. Hundreds of black belts are registered for these brackets, so there’s no telling who we’ll see in the finals. While there are many exciting potential matchups that may or may not line up, there are several guaranteed first-round pairings — and some likely second-round matches — that we can’t wait to see.

Jonnatas Gracie is one of the fastest-rising competitors coming from the powerhouse camp that is Atos Jiu-Jitsu.

When Jonnatas first looked at the purple belt absolute bracket at the 2017 IBJJF World Championships, he didn't feel too great about his path to victory. After all, he was a lightweight with three ultra-heavyweight medalists standing in his way. 

The IBJJF European Championship is typically the first time we get to see the new black belts at a major tournament. Euros is going down from January 20-27 in Lisbon, and there’s an impressive list of first-year black belts registered for this year's tournament.
