IBJJF Offering Another Professional (Get Paid Cash Money) Opportunity


Lots of top level guys say it: Sometimes, it's about getting paid.
That being said, this is a niche sport. You want to get paid to do what you love, it is its own kind of hustle. No one is entitled to make a living from a niche sport. There's a business side to it and typically the skills necessary to be a world champion are not the same ones to be a wealthy, successful business owner.
In fact, they can often be a detriment.

That being said, the IBJJF is hearing the noise and is offering another venue for upper belts to make some cash doing what they love.

Information HERE over at Graciemag:
"Note: All adult black belts, male and female, will need to have at least 20 points in the IBJJF ranking system to qualify for competition....

The prizes are listed as follows:
Black belt adult male weight divisions: $4,000 for gold, $1,000 for silver
Black belt female absolute: $1,500 for gold

Each brown belt male absolute (2): $800 for gold
Each purple belt male absolute (2): $600 for gold
