USAJJ All American Winners

USA Jiu-Jitsu proudly announces the recognition of USA Jiu-Jitsu All-Americans.

The board of directors unanimously voted to recognize the USBJJF (United States Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation) American National Championship as the precursor to the not-for-profit USAJJ National Championship (to be announced at a later date).

Athletes that placed in the top three medal spots of competition (weight division and/or absolute) in the years preceding the USAJJ National Championships are hereby designated “All-Americans.”

This is one of the many efforts to promote national pride in the efforts of our early Jiu-Jitsu athletes as the organization works with Jiu-Jitsu International to make the Olympic dream a reality.

In the future designated All-Americans will be able to request a certificate recognizing their outstanding accomplishment.

On behalf of the USAJJ board of directors and commissioner we would like to congratulate these athletes and encourage future competitors to strive for this All-American mark of excellence in the US Jiu-Jitsu community.
