  • Strong knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including terminology, community culture, and the competition scene.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with internal teams and external partners.
  • Based in San Diego or surrounding areas, or available for occasional in-person collaboration (preferred at our San Diego headquarters).

  • Background in martial arts journalism, athlete storytelling, or brand development.
  • Experience in digital marketing strategy and cross-functional content planning.
How to Apply We’d love to hear from you! Please send your résumé, writing and/or editing samples, and links or attachments to articles that best reflect your tone, storytelling, and understanding of the Jiu-Jitsu community. A cover letter that shares your connection to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—how it inspires your writing or creativity—and why you’d be a strong fit for Kingz Kimonos is highly encouraged. Applications without a cover letter and sample articles may not be considered. We want to see your words — and your passion for the sport — in action.
