IBJJF’s sixth Jiu-Jitsu Con opens today at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with World Master black belts and brown belts already on the schedule for Thursday and FloGrappling carrying the exclusive live stream.
The World Master IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship and the Con’s youth and adult tournaments share Halls W1–W3 at 300 Convention Center Drive through Saturday, September 5. Athlete registration is closed. Spectators pay $35 (children 12 and under get in free; registered athletes and black-belt coaches with valid membership are free for the event days). Parking is $20.
Thursday’s World Master mats are black belt Master 1 and 2, plus brown belt Master 1 through 7. Friday moves to black belt Master 3 through 7 and purple belt Master 1 through 3. Saturday closes World Master with blue belt Master 1 through 7 and purple belt Master 4 through 7. Parallel Con International days put Novice and GI on September 3, Kids No-Gi and No-Gi on September 4, and Kids GI on September 5.
Away from the brackets, IBJJF’s event guide lists twenty-one free seminars, talks with Bernardo Faria and Michael Zenga, Heath Pedigo, and Damian Maia across the three days, and more than forty brand booths. Award ceremonies for the Graduation Ceremony and the Ranking Ceremony—honoring the top-three ranked male and female athletes in each Masters Category 1–7 for the 2025–2026 season—are set for 2 p.m. Thursday and Friday in the JJCON Square area. Interactive fixtures include an IBJJF Hall of Fame walk-through, a Crown display (the 2026 Crown is the fourth edition), and a Gracie Legacy exhibit.
Competitors and coaches use a dedicated entrance and need active IBJJF membership identification (app QR code, physical card, or website). Live brackets are on bjjcompsystem; the stream is on FloGrappling.
