The Jiu Jitsu Expo – promoting Jiu Jitsu Culture was born in Italy in 2022, on the occasion of
the 10th edition of the Italian BJJ Open, the Official Italian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championship
FIJLKAM – UIJJ.
The Jiu Jitsu Expo is the place where BJJ community meets to create a network and build
relationships.
The only event of its kind in Italy where the protagonists are not just competitors, black belts
and champions, but all athlethes, students, enthusiasts, friends and brands linked to BJJ, as
well as all those interested in the world of sport and trade fairs in general. The Jiu Jitsu Expo
represents the way to promote a real Italian BJJ community with its culture and offers unique
and unprecedented commercial opportunities also for international brands.
There were many exhibitors who were the protagonists of 2022. From clothing brands such
as Kano Kimonos, Tatami Fightwear and TopKimono, to the wellness sector with Herbalife
and Samadhi Yoga, to the most representative teams in Italy: Milanimal, Tribe Jiu Jitsu,
Matside Jiu Jitsu, L’Accademia and Budo Clan, to the artisans with Mastrociliegio, to Bjj
