2026 CBJJ Brazilian Nationals Results

The 2026 CBJJ Brazilian Nationals — the Brasileiro, the country's flagship domestic gi championship — ran 10 days and drew nearly 8,000 athletes to the Ginásio Poliesportivo José Correa in Barueri, São Paulo, with the main black belt divisions wrapping on May 4.

The biggest upset of the tournament came in the super-heavyweight division, where Vinicius snapped Erich's 48-match win streak. On the women's side, Sarah Galvao, the Funegra sisters, Gabi Pessanha, Mayssa Bastos, Elisabeth Clay, and Yara Soares all took gold in their respective weight classes.

Team-wise, Alliance Rio de Janeiro emerged as the tournament's breakout squad, with a black belt division led by Rodrigo Thiago collecting three golds — the kind of depth that starts with the fundamentals covered in our BJJ belt system roadmap and shows up years later on the biggest domestic stage in the sport.
