Team Fabricio’s Karlo Sevilla and Gilbert Ombao led the winners in the 2016 Philippine International Open Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Gi/No Gi held recently at the Mall of Asia activity center in Pasay City. Gi and No Gi are the two forms of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The former is grappling with the use of a gi or traditional uniform, which allows the competitor to grab the clothing of your opponent, while the latter is grappling without the gi, with the contestants just wearing shorts and a rash guard.
