A disputa foi entre Olivier Seng (Sampa BJJ) contra Rodrigo Costa (Gracie Barra). Após troca de ações no duelo, Olivier, por cima com pegada firme na gola, deu um passo por cima da cabeça de Rodrigo, para arrochar um bonito e sorrateiro estrangulamento.

TorontoBJJ, representing Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu, captured another IBJJF team title in Canada, at the recent IBJJF Montreal Open.

Competing against the two big local teams, BTT Canada and Gracie Barra, the race for the first place was a thrill.

Great performances of athletes like David Krimus (double gold – purple belt), Dainis Nguyen (double gold-brown belt) and Sarah Smith (double gold – blue belt), secured important points for the overall run.

TorontoBJJ, lead by Professor Jorge Britto, finishes another great year with the two only IBJJF team titles in Canada. Know more about the team at torontobjj.com.

No último fim de semana no Canadá, a IBJJF organizou mais uma edição do Montreal International Open. E quem se deu bem foi uma fera de Juiz de Fora, da academia BTT.

Leonardo Saggioro, o popular Cascão, foi campeão no peso leve, mas quis mais desafios, e caiu dentro do absoluto. Sua garra foi recompensada, e após final com Lucas Rocha, da GB, Cascão foi coroado com o ouro.

O pódio do absoluto foi completado pelos medalhistas de bronze Leonardo Costa (Tanque Jiu-Jitsu) e Todd Brandon (Soca BJJ).

Já na Alemanha, no sábado 14 de novembro, Jackson Sousa foi o grande rei absoluto do Berlin Open. O faixa-preta da Checkmat ficou com o ouro duplo, ao vencer o peso pesado, contra o checo Jaroslav Moltas (Pitbull).

Na final do absoluto, Jackson Sousa venceu Luca Anacoreta (Aeterna Jiu-Jitsu). No pódio, Allen Causevic (Valko BJJ) e Rodrigo Reis (Tanque Jiu-Jitsu) ficaram com o bronze.
