A hundred fifteen professional high-performance athletes were selected from twenty-five BJJ gyms in the State of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. Descriptive analyses were used to demonstrate the athlete\u2019s individual characteristics, and the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test was used to assess the significant differences between the number of injuries categorized by athlete\u2019s belt or performance level category. Additionally, the Fisher\u2019s exact test was used to assess possible differences between frequency of total injuries and injuries per affected site among the belts.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We observed an injury prevalence of 85.2%, in which knee (32.6%), shoulder (11.2%) and elbow (8.4%) were the most affected regions.
