competition

Competition is an excellent way to test your skills. In tournaments, you’ll compete within your own division, which is determined by your weight, age, and belt level. Therefore if you’re just getting started in BJJ and you want to test the water, you’ll always be matched against someone who is of similar size and experience. 

Although you’re always welcome to compete if that is your wish, competing is not a prerequisite to membership at United Legion BJJ. Lastly, please keep in mind there are many Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments (Gi and No-Gi), but the main ones are included below.

Finally, tournaments are a great way for kids to test their BJJ. Many events are available for children to compete and put their skills on display. Please keep in mind, though, that competition is not a requirement for our child members.
