What We're Looking Forward To At No-Gi Worlds

We are only a few days away from the start of the 2024 No-Gi Worlds and the brackets are stacked - especially at the black belt level. In every division, there are world class athletes ready to take the mats for their shot at glory and gold. Who should fans be looking out for this weekend when action kicks off?

Black belt matches start on Friday and continue onto Saturday. Things will begin with the absolute brackets (which will be set the day before) until the finals are set. Then they will run the division rounds. Women's brackets will also run until the finals, meaning the top two advance to Saturday. For the men's brackets, the top 8 advance to Saturday and things begin that day with the quarters.
