2026 IBJJF Brazilian National Championship (Brasileiro)

Did you know?

• ▸ The 2026 Brasileiro ran the adult black belt division through 241 recorded matches, and 99 of them ended in submission for a 41% finish rate. That is a high finishing clip for a top-level gi tournament where a lot of matches come down to points.
• ▸ Across the recorded matches, the armbar was the most common finish with 15, followed by the gi choke from the back with 11. If you train here, those two alone account for the bulk of the submission wins on record.
• ▸ In the super-heavyweight final Vinicius Liberati beat Erich Munis on advantages after the two tied at 6 points each, and that result broke Erich's 48-match winning streak. Even in the loss, Erich still finished the event with 5 wins and 4 of them by submission.
• ▸ Rerisson Gabriel of AOJ went 4 wins with 0 submissions on the way to the light-featherweight title, including a final over Diego "Pato" Oliveira Batista decided on advantages. His run shows you can win a division at this level entirely on positional and points-based control.
• ▸ Sara Galvao led all performers with 6 wins, 4 of them by submission, while Tainan Dalpra and Elisabeth Clay each went a perfect 3 for 3 by submission. Different volumes, but each one was finishing rather than riding decisions.
