Women’s Jiu Jitsu Championships 2010

On 9 October 2010, the founders of Fenom Kimonos and Zebra Tournament Systems hosted the first annual Women’s Jiu Jitsu Championships in Frisco, Texas. In an historic event, 76 women and girls, supported by friends, family and spectators, competed in gi and no-gi divisions. While a report from one of the event’s founders reflected on the day’s strong vibes of sorosis and mutualism, when the competitors hit the mats it was ‘all systems go’ with fiercely contested divisions. After this year’s landmark competition, the founders of WJJC aim to repeat the success of the event in 2011.
