2017 American National IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship
Jul 6 - 8, 2017
Did you know?
- Across 68 recorded matchups at the 2017 American National, 28 ended by submission, good for a 41 percent submission rate. That is a high finishing rate for an IBJJF gi event, where points and advantages often decide things.
- The armbar led all finishes with 5, followed by the rear naked choke with 4. Chokes were well represented overall, with the gi choke from back, triangle, arm triangle, and guillotine each recorded 3 times.
- Josh Hinger posted 10 wins on record here, 8 of them by submission. That kind of finishing ratio at the top of the bracket is what you want to study if you care about closing matches rather than managing a lead.
- Keenan Cornelius went a perfect 5 wins with 5 submission wins on record, including a gi choke from back to take an Absolute Division final over Joshua Hinger. Every recorded win came by finish, not points.
- Hinger and Cornelius met more than once here. Cornelius submitted Hinger with a gi choke from back in an Absolute Division final, while Hinger beat Cornelius on points in the Heavyweight final.
