JIU-JITSU FOR EVERYONE®

​​🥋 GI-Only Matches
All matches will be GI-only, and competitors must wear a complete Gracie Barra uniform. We will be checking uniforms, nails, and weight before the matches. Make sure you are within the weight category selected at registration to avoid disqualification.

​

🏆 Matchmaking
All local Gracie Barra Schools students are welcome to participate! If we don’t have a perfect match (weight, age, belt) within our school, we will do our best to find an opponent from another Gracie Barra.
