What happens at a BJJ competition?

competition

You weigh in, wait for your division to be called, then fight strangers in bracketed matches. Matches last 5-10 minutes depending on belt level. You win by submission, points, advantages, or referee decision. Expect long waits, nervous energy, and matches that feel much shorter than they actually are. Bring food, water, and something to sit on.
