BJJ Connection : Grappling Tournament Organizer in CA

Since the world watched in awe as Grappling master Royce Gracie won the first, second, fourth, and Ultimate Fighting Championships in the early 1990s, Jiu Jitsu has become increasingly important in the international community of martial arts. Many people decided they wanted to start training themselves when they saw Gracie fight opponents much larger and stronger physically from all kinds of other styles such as boxing, karate, judo, tae kwon do, and fight, and once in time he would submit and defeat them all.


If you started learning Jiu Jitsu recently and have put in a few hours of quality training already, then it is probably time to insert the first sports tournament Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu tournaments continue to grow in popularity around the world so the chances are excellent that there is more than one near you. What BJJ connection is trying to accomplish is to bring the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition together for ease and convenience.


If you are a serious student, then before you enter the first tournament, the better. Do not be intimidated, just get there, relax, and have fun. You can not continue to learn and progress in Jiu Jitsu only from the study and practice alone, although of course they are important. You have to spend a lot of time actually apply the techniques and skills learned in just as close to a fight in the real world, as you can without getting unnecessarily hurt; which is exactly why there are tournaments in all martial arts.


There will be a fee to enter the tournament, and, depending on where you live you may need a license from a governing sports organization such as the Union Athletic Amateur (AAU). You will definitely be signing a waiver releasing the organizers from liability should you get injured, but again, you need not fear for your safety. These are not mixed martial arts fighting cage where almost anything goes. There are strict rules designed for your safety. There will also be several categories of competition with the classes for a wide range of age, sex, sometimes the weight, and rank belt. You will not be required to compete with a teacher, if you are a beginner. It should be in competition with people of about the same experience and ability, as you so that it is a rewarding challenge and the learning experience for everyone.
