Competitions by year

Men's black belt world champions

The results listed for 2022 are tentative. On 8 March 2023, the IBJJF announced that three 2022 adult black-belt gold medalists were disqualified due to use of performance-enhancing drugs.[1] However, as of 10 March 2023, the IBJJF's official results still listed them as winners. This table assumes that the silver medalists were promoted to champion, although the IBJJF has not clearly stated that.
