GRAPPLING INDUSTRIES BROOKLYN
The time has come, and New York City is once again hosting BJJ tournaments. We are thrilled to have several students competing in the white belt and blue belt divisions, and we have been preparing our warriors diligently.
Grappling Industries Brooklyn is now sold out!
Several participants in the adult divisions will compete in the light, medium, and heavy-weight divisions for children, men, and women. Be sure to support local tournaments and the BJJ community by attending! The event is sold out, and matches are scheduled for the late evening.
Notably, tickets for spectators are entirely free, so the event may quickly reach its capacity limit. Be sure to arrive early to secure a viewing spot and cheer on your teammates!

Good luck to all the competitors; it’s time to put our technique and all the complex gi and no-gi sparring rounds on the mat to the test in a round-robin competition that promises to be both intense and entertaining! Additional information about the event is provided below!

FORMAT and PROTOCOL: Grappling Industries tournaments follow a Round Robin Pool format meaning that all adult competitors get four matches for signing up for a division that fills up to 5 competitors.

All Grappling Industries matches follow a points structure but without advantages! We are also very legal submission friendly!
