As we’ve published here before, jiu jitsu international is now official – but this is the video shot by Brazilian reporters that we edited to show the actual historic moments.

On the video you’ll see JJI’s executive director “Papa” John Gorman, along with the President of the World Black Belt Council Sylvio Behring, and on the table, 3 of the 4 grandmaster that make up JJI’s governing body, the Red Belt Council:

Grandmaster Alvaro Barreto, Grandmaster Joao Alvaro Barreto, and Grandmaster Flavio Behring.

You can learn more about their life-long dedication to the sport on the jiu jitsu international website.
