Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Confederation (CBJJ)

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Confederation (CBJJ) is the official governing body for BJJ in Brazil, affiliated with the IBJJF. The CBJJ organizes major national competitions, including the Campeonato Brasileiro de Jiu-Jitsu, which serves as a key pathway for athletes aspiring to compete internationally.

CBJJ’s role extends beyond competitions to include standardization of rules, certification of instructors, and support for regional and youth programs. Its oversight has been instrumental in maintaining Brazil’s central role in the development of BJJ while fostering a strong domestic competitive scene.

The organization also works to promote the sport culturally and educationally, ensuring that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu continues to grow at both grassroots and professional levels.
