The Jiu-Jitsu Pan this upcoming April 8 to 11 in Irvine, California, is the biggest IBJJF event of the first half of the year.

An opportunity for white belts to black belts of all ages, the 16th Pan may in 2010 break all participant records. And anyone wanting to grow and appear in the Jiu-Jitsu scene will not miss out on the event in California.

That’s what two future superstars of the new generation did last year, for example. In a twist of fate, Gunnar Nelson and Clark Gracie faced off in the middleweight brown belt division in the very first match of the night. The Icelandic prodigy and the son of Carley Gracie made it clear they’ll be going far. Check it out, and watch out for them at the 2010 Pan!
