What is PANs? For those less familiar with Jiu Jitsu, PANS is one of the Major events conducted by the most Elite tournament federation. With an abundance of tournaments happening every month, those that climb the ladder of competition successfully set their sights on the most challenging events. Those events are categorized as IBJJF Grand Slam events, and PANS is one of the most difficult among those events. This is where the competitors that often win smaller events find road blocks as they face other champions. One of the most noticeable differences is the amount of preparation competitors put in for this event. Most competitors implement weeks of rigorous training, mental preparation, dieting, and spend a significant amount of money to travel from various states and countries.

To win at PANS is exceptional because every opponent, without question, is more focused and prepared beyond their normal capacity. But what is even more exceptional is when an individual is able to find success while maintaining a busy workload and upholding other responsibilities. How does and individual find success when competing against other opponents that have potentially spent double the amount of time preparing?

By having a smart approach to Jiu Jitsu with a very solid game plan.
