Metamoris hosts its second event on June 9 in Los Angeles, and the elite invitational jiu-jitsu tournament is changing the landscape of the jiu-jitsu industry. “The jiu-jitsu industry is taking a turn where the standard format is a ten-minute match with points in different positions, and mainly top positions.  So if you get in certain top position, whoever gets the most recent and most number of positions ends up winning the match,” Metamoris founder Ralek Gracie told MMAWeekly.com . “As a result, over time, what happens is people desire very eagerly to become champions in jiu-jitsu, they effectively train for a very positional game.  And you end up seeing something that is kind of a different sport,” he said. Aside from taking promotional queues from mixed martial arts and leveraging the appeal of fighters like Shinya Aoki and Brendan Schaub in its events, Metamoris is also changing the fundamental structure of the competitions. Metamoris matches consist of a single 20-minute round where winners are determined by obtaining a submission or a clear-cut decision
