The revelation came as Jones and his team have been working behind the scenes to organize what promises to be a significant event in the competitive grappling calendar.
“Me and my team have been working very very hard,”
Jones stated during the announcement.
“We’re announcing the first team in the CJI and that team will surprise you that is new wave jiu-jitsu.”
Adding to the excitement, Jones also disclosed that three misfit teams will be participating in the competition, representing different global regions: Europe, Australasia, and the Americas. These teams are currently offering open spots for potential competitors.
The inclusion of New Wave Jiu-Jitsu, known for their innovative approach to the sport, sets a high standard for the competition’s level of talent. While specific details about the tournament format and other participating teams remain under wraps, this initial announcement has already generated significant buzz within the grappling community.
The CJI 2 takes place in August of this year in Las Vegas.
