Cláudia do Val after beating Carina Santi in the absolute. IBJJF
It was an intense marathon of BJJ events this weekend, with one held in Brazil. The IBJJF São Paulo Open, which took place in Barueri, featured some of the world’s strongest fighters.
The tireless Cláudia do Val came straight from Japan to win some more titles at home. The De La Riva representative ended up with quadruple gold, cementing herself as the leader of the women’s rankings in both gi and no-gi BJJ.
In the men’s gi section, Alliance pals Fernando Reis and Vinicius Gazola closed out both the super-heavy and absolute divisions.

In the men’s no-gi absolute, it was Poland’s Adam Wardzinski (Checkmat) who soared above the competition. A student under Alan Finfou, Adam had won gold in the gi heavyweight division the previous day; then he did even better without the cloth, taking down the heavyweight and open divisions.
