The Pan-American Championship, often referred to colloquially as the "Pan Ams", is the largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament held in North America.[2] The event which is held annually by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.[3]

History

Representing one of the first steps toward internationalization of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the Pan-American Championship has been held annually since 1995. While the first event garnered only 250 athletes, the event has grown every year and now hosts thousands of competitors.[2][4]

The event was last held in Irvine, California, but has been held in other regions of the US in order to boost the expansion of the sport.[2]
