Claudia Do Val, four-time IBJJF World Champion, described a devastating sexual encounter with Ricardo De La Riva in an interview on "Unleashed – The Game Changers," hosted by Paola Diana.

It’s gi season time, with things kicking off January 20 at the IBJJF European Championships. The women’s divisions should be more exciting than ever this year. I’ve previewed the first six weights and now it is time for heavyweight and super-heavyweight.

In stark contrast to the gameplan at the adult level, deep half guard has long been the preferred guard for many masters competitors. With the shortened five- or six-minute matches, sliding into deep half and then scoring a late sweep to win 2-0 is a solid strategy for Master Worlds. The dominant passing positions typically achieved after a deep half sweep usually allow the athlete to coast out the remaining time in an over-under or double-unders position.

The black belt Master 1 weight divisions were on fire in Las Vegas on the first day of Masters Worlds competition. 

The women's divisions are loaded with talent for the 2019 World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship. A number of big names will be headed to Las Vegas attempting to become Master Worlds champion, with three former adult black belt World champs registered at Master 1. 

Fight 2 Win 114 was full of submission victories, upsets, and tests. Gabi Garcia was absent from Worlds two weeks ago due to a knee injury, but no one would have guessed she was fighting through adversity in an absolutely dominant F2W debut. 

2017 is winding to a close so it's time to take a look back at the most accomplished athletes of the year!
