ROAD TO WORLDS
The competition begins. The stakes are higher. And not every story ends with a victory.
In Episode 2 of ROAD TO WORLDS, a HanPunch Originals documentary series, Team TMA takes the mats at the 2026 IBJJF World Master Championship in Las Vegas.
After months of preparation, the team finally steps onto the world stage.
Professor Jae Ho Lee opens the competition with a submission victory before facing a difficult second match. Professor Dow Perkins battles her way to a bronze medal, while Erika Bell experiences the challenges of competing against some of the world’s toughest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes.
Beyond the wins and losses, THE WORLD STAGE captures the moments that define a team โ the celebrations, the pressure, the disappointment, and the people who stand beside you when the competition ends.
No scripts. No staged moments. Just the reality of competing at Worlds.
