Illustrious presences at the Mineirinho Circuit

This Saturday, at Club Municipal, in Tijuca (RJ), the first stage of the Rio Mineirinho Jiu-Jitsu Circuit takes place. The event will feature the participation of more than 700 athletes and the president of FJJD-Rio, Rogério Gavazza, calls on the public to fill the stands. “We will have illustrious and important presences at the event, which will greatly help in the growth of jiu-jitsu. The Municipal Secretary of Sports Chiquinho da Mangueira, undersecretary Bruno Castro and the organizer of the Intercollegiate Games, Globo Roberto Garófalo, will be at the event. I want to see the stands full so they can see the power of jiu-jitsu and support our sport even more,” he said.

Furthermore, FJJD-Rio will honor the great master Helio Gracie, who recently passed away. “We will present a certificate to master João Alberto Barreto in honor of the services provided by master Helio.
