This Saturday, Jiu-Jitsu fans in New York will be treated to heaps of top-flight action and technique. The brackets for the No-Gi Pan, released by the IBJJF, show Caio Terra, Lucas Lepri, Kayron Gracie, Renan Borges, Clark Gracie and Brandon Mullins among other aces all in the mix to see who will be the No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu king of Manhattan. The competition will take place at Nat Holman Gymnasium, on the corner of 138th and Convent Avenue.
Caio Terra, silver medalist at the American Nationals, and Clark Gracie, who was at the ADCC and lost a riveting encounter with JT Torres, both look to be in fine competition form, but the other names on the roster are promising, as well. Check out the brackets on the IBJJF website by clicking here, and comment: who’s going to take the cake at weight and in the absolute?
Look for Caio Terra to take Gold at weight and Absolute. Also keep an eye out in the Blue Belt Featherweight Division, Edwin Najimi from Gracie Barra Northridge under Romulo Barral. The kid is a Beast!
Kayron Gracie is the best
Don’t forget about Davi Ramos!! He won his division in Black Belt Middle Weight!!
