Jackson Sousa and Michelle Nicolini win double gold at No-Gi Pan

Jackson Sousa with his super-heavyweight and absolute bling.

The Brazilian nationals were not alone this weekend as the only big no-gi event, as the Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship took place in New York on Sept. 30.

In the end, two Checkmat representatives had taken double gold.

Men
Riding some momentum from his bronze campaign at the ADCC Worlds, Jackson Sousa first beat Eliot Kelly (Yamaso BJJ) in the super-heavyweight final, and then bested Diego Ramalho (ZR Team) in the open division.

Checkmat closed out the women’s absolute.

Women
Michelle Nicolini bagged gold at lightweight as she defeated Jéssica Santos (Elite BJJ Redmond). Then she and middleweight champion Catherine Perret both made it past the absolute semifinals to close it out for Checkmat.


We also had João Miyao (Cícero Costha) topping the light featherweight podium, Gianni Grippo (Alliance) beating the featherweight field, and Renato Canuto (Zenith BJJ) nabbing gold at lightweight.
