IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026: PSF Recap
The IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 delivered another high-level showcase of talent, grit, and competition—and once again, athletes representing Pedigo Submission Fighting and PSF Legacy stepped up in a big way. Against some of the toughest teams in the world, the results speak for themselves: strong individual performances and a major team achievement that highlights the continued rise of the program.
At the team level, the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 saw Pedigo Submission Fighting secure 2nd place overall in the Novice division, finishing just behind Gracie Barra and ahead of Renzo Gracie. The final standings were a testament to both depth and consistency across the team:
- Gracie Barra – 96
- Pedigo Submission Fighting – 59
- Renzo Gracie – 33
Earning second place at an event like the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 is no small accomplishment. It requires multiple athletes stepping up, winning matches, and contributing points across brackets. For a team built on development and culture, this result reinforces that the system works—especially at the novice level, where growth and experience matter most.
Individually, the team had several standout performances that made an impact at the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026. In the Male Adult White Belt Middleweight division (181.60 lbs), Elisha Dejournette Cook earned a well-deserved silver medal after a strong run through the bracket. Competing against a deep field, Eli showcased composure, toughness, and the ability to perform under pressure.
The podium for the division looked like this:
- Williams Walker Molina – Athlas Training Team
- Elisha Dejournette Cook – Pedigo Submission Fighting
- Daniel Eduardo Gonzalez Jaimes – Soul Fighters BJJ
Eli’s performance at the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 is a perfect example of what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Reaching the podium at a major IBJJF event is a milestone for any athlete, and it reflects the work put in long before stepping onto the competition mats.
Another notable result came from Logan Michael Gibson, who earned a bronze medal at roosterweight. Competing in one of the fastest and most technical divisions, Logan showed resilience and determination throughout the tournament. Every match at the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 is earned, and bringing home hardware in a division like roosterweight is a significant achievement.
What stands out most about this year’s IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 isn’t just the medals—it’s the willingness of these athletes to step up and test themselves on one of the biggest stages in Jiu-Jitsu. Competition at this level isn’t easy. The brackets are deep, the matches are demanding, and every opponent is prepared.
That’s what makes these performances meaningful. These athletes didn’t just show up—they competed, adapted, and pushed themselves in real time. That mindset is what drives long-term growth, and it’s a core part of what PSF Legacy and Pedigo Submission Fighting are all about.
The results from the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 also reflect the strength of the team as a whole. A second-place finish in the novice division doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through consistent training, strong coaching, and a culture that encourages athletes to challenge themselves.
For many competitors, events like the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 are just the beginning. These experiences build confidence, expose areas for improvement, and create momentum moving forward. Whether it’s a silver medal, a bronze finish, or simply stepping on the mat for the first time at a major tournament, every match contributes to the bigger picture.
PSF Legacy continues to prove that it’s not just producing competitors—it’s building athletes who are willing to take on challenges and grow from them. The performances at the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 are another step in that direction.
More than anything, we’re proud of every athlete who went out there and put themselves to the test. That’s what competition is about. Not just winning, but showing up, competing hard, and continuing to improve.
And if the IBJJF Gi-Pans 2026 is any indication, this team is only getting started.
