AFTER WORLD MASTERS IBJJF 2026! | Part 1: What’s Next?

From Checkmat Kihei

September 9, 2026

The World Masters competition is wrapped, but the journey doesn't stop here! In Part 1 of this post-competition series, I’m reflecting on my experience, breaking down my performance, and sharing what’s coming next for my training and goals.

Stepping off the World Masters stage was an unforgettable moment, but what actually happens once the competition is over? Welcome to Part 1 of my post-World Masters update!

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of my recovery, my honest thoughts on the outcome, and how I'm planning my next phase.

👍 If you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to follow along with the rest of the series!

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
