FAQ
Type your city or postal code, or tap “Use my location”, on the map at the top of this page: it lists the tournaments closest to you with the distance to each in kilometres. There are 50 upcoming BJJ and grappling tournaments in 8 provinces listed here, and every one links to its registration page (or, for the 1 invite-only pro card, its event page).
Ontario (17 upcoming), British Columbia (13 upcoming) and Alberta (7 upcoming) have the most on this page. Pick a province from the list or the Province filter to see only its tournaments.
Register online before the deadline on the organizer’s registration page: each card here links to it. You choose your division (belt, age group, gender, weight and gi or no-gi) and pay the entry fee. 47 of the 50 tournaments on this page register on Smoothcomp; the IBJJF uses its own site and prices its Canadian events in US dollars.
Under IBJJF rules a takedown, sweep or knee on belly scores 2 points, a guard pass 3, and mount or back control 4, each held for 3 seconds. A submission wins the match outright. Many organizers adapt these rules: AVA, for one, runs round robins where a submission scores the most points. Check the rules page of the event you enter.
Yes: 36 of the 50 tournaments here list no-gi divisions and 35 list gi. Set the Style filter to “Has no-gi”, then your city, to see the nearest. Many events run both on the same weekend.
Yes. 3 tournaments on this page are for kids and youth only, and 0 more say they have kids divisions. Use the Who filter to show only kids and youth events.
A local event with divisions for your belt, close enough that travel isn’t a big part of the day. Grappling Industries (4 Canadian dates listed, in Burnaby, Toronto and Vancouver) guarantees at least 2 matches in any division with an opponent, which takes pressure off a first outing. Leave a few weeks between events to train and recover.
