Congrats to the Kingz World Champions

In case you missed it, one of the most exciting events in the Brazilian jiu-jitsu calendar happened just a couple weeks ago: the IBJJF World Championships. For the thousands of competitors, it's the culmination of all their hard work on the mat over the past year, an opportunity to showcase their jiu-jitsu in pursuit of that ultimate goal: standing on the top of the podium as the 2025 IBJJF World Champion.

But only one person in each division can claim that title... and the competition is always fierce! This year, some of the best of the best - seasoned veterans and fresh faces alike - battled it out on those iconic blue and yellow mats. 

For an incredible nine on our Kingz Athletes team, the hard work paid off! And for five of those, not only did they hit the top of the podium, but they leveled up as they did so! 

Which of our athletes achieved their World Championship dreams? They were:

• Tainan Dalpra
• Mia Funegra
• Sarah Galvao
• Jose Steve
• Ashlee Funegra
• Mateo Cardona
• Felipe Goulart
• Natalee Funegra
• Kalebe Henrique
