About Us
More than 15 years covering Jiu-Jitsu from behind the scenes.
VF Comunica is a media platform specializing in Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling. It was born in 2022, but its experience and credibility come from a story that began long before, built over more than 15 years of work by its founder, Vitor Freitas, who follows the evolution of the sport up close.
In 2023, the platform gained momentum and expanded its presence on the international scene, standing out as a pioneer in live tournament coverage, with real-time updates of competition results.
Today, we produce interviews, features, analysis, sport rankings and coverage of the biggest events in the world, and we also host the VF Comunica Awards, our annual awards recognizing the standouts of Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling. With content in Portuguese and English, we reach millions of people every month.
