The Campeonato Brasileiro de Jiu-Jitsu (lit. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship), commonly known as Brasileiro, is an annual Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) tournament held in Brazil by the IBJJF. Brasileiro has been held annually since 1996, except for the year 2020 when it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[2][3] Through 2012 the event was held at the Ginásio do Tijuca Tênis Clube in Rio de Janeiro; since 2013 it has been held at the Ginásio Poliesportivo José Corrêa in Barueri, São Paulo.
History
The IBJJF gives tournaments weighting which helps calculate the number of points an athlete can win via their participation. For the 2017/2018 IBJJF calendar the Brazilian National has a weighting of 3. This puts it behind in weighting importance to the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship
with a weighting of 7, the European Championship and Pans with weightings of 4 and alongside the Asian Open.[4]
In 2023, the IBJJF announced that FloGrappling had bought exclusive streaming rights to the tournament and would be the only place to watch the Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu Championship moving forward.[5]
