Kingz Dominates at Pans

What does every BJJ fan look forward to each spring? There's only one right answer: the IBJJF Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship. And this year's Pans did not disappoint!

The Pans can be thought of as the opening credits to one of the most prestigious jiu-jitsu events of the year, the IBJJF Worlds. At the Pans, you get to see the best of the best, showcasing what they've been working on and giving you a sneak peek into the battles that will define who will have the honor of calling themselves world champions. And for some, it's the second box to check on their way to an even more prestigious title: the Grand Slam. 

This year, Kingz celebrates an incredible 14 of our athletes becoming Pan Champions! From absolute technical clinics and jaw-dropping submissions, to on-the-edge-of-your seat finals matches, our athletes showed fans exactly why they deserved to be on top.
