SJJIF mission is to unify and organize existing Sport Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Jiu-Jitsu national and/or territorial federations that share the vision of reaching Olympic greatness while preserving the unique history, culture, philosophy, and lineage of our sport.
In order to accomplish this, SJJIF puts on an amazing show at the SJJIF Worlds each year. In the past SJJIF offered as much as 40.000$ in prizes. This year is no different with prize money topping off a staggering 67.000$.
SJJIF has always aimed to promote Brazilian jiu-jitsu through the community and events – all so the level of knowledge grows and the lifestyle becomes all-consuming. In fact the SJJIF has high hopes. They aspire to benefit and enable the growth of the sport in order to organize it and meet the requirements of International Olympic Committee. They aspire to achieve this thanks to easier rules that enable better understanding by both professionals and spectators.
In the past SJJIF has hosted athletes such as Keenan Cornelius, Erberth Santos, Lucas Hulk Barbosa, Tayane Porfirio and many more.
The SJJIF Worlds is the largest and most prestigious SJJIF event of the year. A coming together of competitors from around the globe – open to competitors of all ages and belts. The SJJIF is all about fair competition. Like @anacvieirajj said, the SJJIF Worlds has equal cash prizes for the male & female black belt divisions!
