Competing in BJJ competitions is a challenging and rewarding experience for individuals who practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It provides an opportunity to test one’s skills against other practitioners, improve technique, and gain valuable experience in a competitive setting. Competitions are held at various levels, from local to international, and offer a range of categories based on skill, age, and weight. Here we cover the current list of UK BJJ Tournaments for 2023.
Participating in competitions is a great way to push yourself to new limits, learn from others, and be part of a supportive and passionate community of enthusiasts. If you are wondering what it is like to compete in a BJJ tournament one of our team recently competed in Empire Grappling 29: Yorkshire Winter Open (Link to empire article when approved).
