Grappling report: Batista, de Jesus strike double-gold in 2019 IBJJF European Championship

The IBJJF European Championships is one of the biggest events on the BJJ calendar and it always provides us with some memorable moments and this year was no exception.

While nogi grappling has proven more popular with the viewers, gi jiu jitsu will always have a loyal fanbase and they turned out in numbers to support their favorite athletes in Lisbon last weekend. The big names turned out in force and put on some stellar performances with the Miyao brothers looking sharp as ever and Kaynan Duarte showing just how good he is by tearing through his bracket at just 20 years of age.
