Digging up old pics from the 2008 World BJJ Championships

Remembering the 2008 World BJJ Championships

Someone recently found these picks of Tim making Kayron Gracie turn purple at the 2008 World BJJ Championships.

For those of you who don’t know, the World BJJ Championships are held every year in Southern California and are the biggest and most important BJJ Championships in the…you guessed it, World, hence the World BJJ Championships.  You will sometimes here the World BJJ Championships referred to as the Mundials, which is a mis-transliteration of the singular and plural of World in Portuguese.  The word for World (in this sense) in Portuguese is Mundial, the plural is Mundiais.  The American translation of World BJJ Championships is somewhere in between:  Mundials.
