2022 IBJJF Charleston International Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 31 recorded matchups at the 2022 IBJJF Charleston International Open, submissions closed out 11 of them, for a submission rate of 35 percent. That leaves the majority of results going to points, advantages, and decisions, which tracks with how tight adult IBJJF divisions tend to be.
• ▸ When people did finish, the armbar led the way with 5 recorded submissions, ahead of the choke at 3. The rest of the taps were spread thin, with a single triangle choke, toe hold, and kneebar each.
• ▸ Jeferson Guaresi and Hugo Marques both finished the event with 4 wins on record, the most of anyone. Guaresi got there with 2 submission wins while Marques leaned more on grinding results, with just 1 of his by submission.
• ▸ Guaresi and Marques met in the Absolute Division final, and Guaresi took it on an advantage. Marques had already survived a Penalty decision over Enderson Dias in the semi-finals to get there.
• ▸ Yuta Shimada finished with 2 wins, both by submission, one of the cleaner ratios at the event. He came up short in the Lightweight final, dropping a decision to Matias Estevez.
