Gabriel Almeida wearing his gold medal.
Held at Sírio Sport Club in São Paulo, the ADCC’s Brazil trials — which this year ditched the Rio de Janeiro stage — gathered elite fighters from across the country seeking to qualify for the 2019 ADCC Worlds, slated to take place in California this September.
The trials ran for almost twelve hours this Saturday, with contests in the traditional ADCC divisions (66kg, 77kg, 88kg 99kg and over 99kg for the men; under and over 66kg for the women). Spots in the big one were awarded to well-known athletes as well as some new faces.
