As a Jiu Jitsu Professor, as a coach, there are few moments more fulfilling, more satisfying, more joyous, more validating to witness, than an athlete you train, and train with, earn Gold on the podium of their first ever IBJJF event. It’s even just a bit better when they win Double Gold, Weight and Open Weight, and become the Absolute Champion! Way to go Rebekah! Way to go Colorado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Satori! Brilliant!
Rebekah Nguyen is your Absolute Champion, winning Gold in the Blue Belt, Female, Middle Weight Division, and Gold in the Blue Belt, Female, Open Weight Division at the 2026 IBJJF Denver International Open Jiu Jitsu Championship No-Gi, held at Regis University on April 26, 2026. It was awesome. Rebekah won each of her matches on the day via submission, specifically, the guillotine choke! Our Guillotine Queen was able to defeat each of her opponents using a variety of guillotines. It was breathtaking!
