2023 European Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 68 recorded matchups at the 2023 European, submissions accounted for 41 percent of finishes, with 28 matches ending by tap. That is a high finishing rate for an IBJJF gi event and tells you the top of these brackets came to close matches out.
• ▸ The rear naked choke was the single most common submission on record here with 9 finishes, more than double the 4 armbars that followed it. Back control paying off says a lot about where these matches were being won.
• ▸ Kaynan Duarte went 4 for 4 by submission in his recorded matches at the event. He closed both the Absolute final over Rider Zuchi with a rear naked choke and the Super Heavyweight final over Luis Fernando De Oliveira with an armbar.
• ▸ Tainan Dalpra recorded 3 wins, all by submission, capping it with a collar choke over Pavel Kalesnik in the Middleweight final. Finishing every recorded match in the gi at this level is not something you see often.
• ▸ Two of the finals were decided without a finish or clear points margin: Andy Murasaki took Lightweight over Natan Chueng on an advantage, and Jansen Gomes won the Medium Heavyweight final over Pedro Henrique Pinheiro Machado de Souza by DQ. The recorded data shows only 1 penalty decision across the whole event.
