Below you'll find links to some of the major Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and organizations in Texas and across the country. These resources are available for any student or family interested in competing and exploring opportunities that fit their schedule and goals.

Need Help with Competitions?
We're always happy to help! If you have any questions about registering for a tournament, please feel free to contact the school. Some organizations require an annual membership, while others only require event registration. If you're attending an event independently, please be sure to carefully review the competition date, location, rules, approved uniforms, weigh-in procedures, schedules, and bracket information. When the school attends as a team, we help communicate these details, but individual competitors are responsible for staying informed when competing on their own.
Please note that Gracie Barra Lindale is not affiliated with or responsible for any tournament organization. We do not have the ability to issue refunds, cancel registrations, change brackets, or make decisions regarding schedules or match assignments. All tournament-related questions and requests must be directed to the specific federation hosting the event. However, we are always available to help answer questions and guide you through the process whenever possible.
