Don’t miss any of the action for the 2013 IBJJF Masters & Seniors World Championship on the weekend of October 5-6! If you’re in another state, at work, without a ride, in another country, you can still catch all the action.

Just like the adult World Championship in June every year, the Long Beach Walter Pyramid will once again offer insight for the Masters & Seniors Worlds. The IBJJF and Budovideos will offer a livestream of the competition for a price broken down by days.

The technology captures all of the mats for you to choose from. Find out where a competitor is going to be and head over to that camera to watch the match unfold in real time.

To capture just one of the days is a separate price than if you buy both days with access to replays after.

Order it now ahead of time by going to www.ibjjftv.com

And don’t miss the chance to compete as there is still time to register! Deadline for registration is Friday, September 27.

Enjoy acai at the 2013 World Championship

The 2013 World Championship brings us the 18th edition of the prestigious tournament and this post brings us to the end of our reasons to support the event. Pertaining to those who are contemplating whether they will be present in the Long Beach Walter Pyramid, we think this motivation will entice you.

Reason #18: Get in on all the deals from well-known Jiu-Jitsu companies and enjoy the acai!

Every year the Long Beach Pyramid packs in spectators and competitors gathering together for Jiu-Jitsu gold and entertainment. But we can’t forget about the booths available to everyone that host deals on gear, opportunities and traditional eats.

This year some of the brands present will be: Keiko, Koral, Budovideos, Fuji and Zebra mats.

The brands will be releasing their Mundial or World Championship products that are only available at the tournament. Don’t miss the chance to secure a limited edition product by your favorite Jiu-Jitsu company.

Also present is the famous acai booth that serves as both after-competition delight and intermission snack.

And, of course, GRACIEMAG will have an awesome booth inside the pyramid where you can subscribe to the best Jiu-Jitsu magazine there is, get amazing gifts on the spot and also participate in incredible promotions. The booth will also be the stage for interviews with BJJ stars and a few more surprises that we will disclose as the Worlds nears. We see you there.

And for those who can’t make it to Long Beach, you can watch the event live at www.ibjjftv.com as well as our live coverage on our Google+ page.

As part of our 18 reasons to follow the 2013 World Championship, this second reason is a great motivator. And easy!

The second reason involves teleportation. But not your whole body, just your eyes. Don’t worry, it’s still cool because you can be a spectator at home just like you would be at the Long Beach Pyramid from May 29 – June 2!

Budovideos has mastered the ability for everyone with a computer to enjoy the World Championship by placing cameras at every one of the twelve competition mat areas which stream to your computer live. For a small fee and with different package prices you can access the event without paying for the plane ticket to get there.

The multi-mat technology allows you to switch between all of the mats. If you are trying to see a specific competitor, make sure you know the mat number and you can be ready to see all of their matches as they happen. The delay is only about 15-20 seconds!

Commentary is available with an entirely different camera view that comes with it. The commentators help out those looking to know more information on the event and athletes on only Saturday and Sunday.

You will be able to watch the stream on your phone as well if it is compatible. Most iPhone/iPad users will be able to see and some Android devices as well. On the mobile you can see the commentary view only, you can’t switch between the different mats.

Get creative and hold a get-together so multiple people can join in on the fun. Like watching the UFC, you can show your support in numbers and create a discussion. Hook up your computer to your TV for better viewing pleasure with this article.

Of course being there live is a luxury, but if that isn’t possible you can pretend you’re there by going to www.ibjjftv.com. Bookmark the page for easy access to avoid missing a match.
