2026 82 Rising International Jiu-Jitsu Open — What a journey!
We’ve just concluded our 2026 82 Rising International Jiu-Jitsu Open, and we couldn’t be prouder of our athletes who stepped onto the mats and gave everything they had.
🥉 Gel — Bronze Medal
Making his competition debut, Gel went toe-to-toe with seasoned competitors and secured his bronze through a submission victory. We are incredibly proud of what you have accomplished, Gel! This is only the beginning.
🥉 Ram Jhonson — Bronze Medal
Making his blue belt debut, Ram won his match via submission and fought a very close semifinal match. Despite falling short in the semifinals, he showed tremendous heart, composure, and determination. Congratulations, Ram!
Huge props as well to Ramel and Rodnie for representing the team and giving their very best. The results may not have been what we wanted, but every match is part of the journey. We’ll learn, improve, and come back stronger!
