Lower belts wait for their mat assignments at Pan Ams

While the black belts are always the headlining event at the Pan American Championship each year, the colored belts should never be ignored. Often it’s the matches in the lower belts that provide the most action, risk and passion.

Whether you have one year of experience or five, every athlete deserves the opportunity to get on the mat, feel the roar of the Brenn Event Center, be supported by teammates and peers and put Jiu-Jitsu techniques to the test against a viable opponent.
