Fresh off his boxing victory over UFC legend Anderson Silva, Jake Paul is currently training for his MMA debut next month. Before dipping his toes in MMA, he has linked up with Atos black belt Mike Perez and ADCC head organizer Mo Jassim touch up his ground game a little.

Great news for the grappling world as Mo Jassim has been selected as the Head Organizer for the ADCC World Championships in 2024. This event will again be held in Las Vegas with a targeted date of September 2024, with trials kicking off at the East Coast Trials in November 2023.

The 2022 ADCC World Championship is set to the biggest no-gi grappling event in history. To be held in front of a record 13,000 fans at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on September 17-18, 2022, the event continues to elevate jiu-jitsu to the next level and the latest news is that Gordon Ryan has secured a ground-breaking sponsorship deal.

The 2022 ADCC South American Trials go down in tow locations over two weekends, with the 1st ADCC South American Trial taking place in Balneario Camboriu, and the 2nd ADCC South American Trial in Sao Paulo.

The 2022 South American ADCC Trials are now just a few weeks away. On February 5th, five male athletes will earn their spots in the 2022 ADCC World Championships by fighting through a bracket of ambitious opponents. A week later, on February 12th, five more males and two female athletes will punch their tickets to Las Vegas, the home of ADCC 2022.

2022 promises to be one of the most exciting years in grappling history. We can expect the return of the IBJJF season, with major events in Europe, South America and the USA. WNO will continue to host high-level no-gi grappling events that feature the most exciting competitors in compelling matches.

The 2022 Jiu-Jitsu season will soon erupt into full swing. A year that’s sure to be packed with twists and turns, upsets and breakthrough moments, 2022 is bound to be unpredictable.

The return of Worlds, the growth of WNO, and the emergence of a new generation of champion grapplers– just a handful of the high points of a rollercoaster 12-month period that rarely took its foot off the gas pedal. Of course, there were also less positive happenings; confrontations, team splits, and more.

The most anticipated gi event of the year draws nearer. 10 days from now grapplers from around the world will convene in Anaheim, CA for the 2021 IBJJF World Championship.

The countdown is almost over– we are mere weeks away from the most anticipated jiu-jitsu event of the year. The IBJJF World Championships has not taken place since June of 2019, and there is a palpable sensation of excitement among fans and athletes as we draw closer to the tournament.

More than 200 athletes are registered for the 77 kg division at the 2021 North American ADCC Trials, making it one of the deepest brackets in trials history.

More than 150 athletes have registered for the 66 kg division at the 1st North American ADCC Trials, the East Coast Trials taking place on November 6-7 in Atlantic City, NJ.

The Road to ADCC was unique in that it was the first time an event ever featured a series of head-to-head matches held under ADCC superfight rules. As Mo Jassim, the 2022 ADCC World Championships organizer, explained, it was conceived to kick start the process that will culminate in September next year at the World Championships.

Nobody could have predicted the end of the no-gi match between Lucas "Hulk" Barbosa and Matheus Diniz at BJJ Stars VI. A candidate for the most surprising, complicated and controversial finish to a grappling match in living memory, Diniz put Barbosa to sleep with a choke but it was deemed to have been applied after time had run out. Below, I’ll attempt to clarify what happened and you can even see my analysis of the video to determine whether the choke was legit or not.
