The 2021 IBJJF Pan Ams went down on September 1st through the 5th at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida. The Pans have traditionally been one of the biggest tournaments of the annual jiu-jitsu calendar, with this edition drawing 3,880 competitors.
The 2020 Pan Ams were the first major IBJJF tournament after the pandemic, but unfortunately, many of the sports top athletes were not able to participate due to travel restrictions. This time around, however, some of the top competitors from around the world registered in an effort to claim a Pan American title.
