Overview
Grappling Industries is one of the most active and accessible submission grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament circuits in the world, hosting events year-round across North America, Europe, and beyond. Unlike invitation-only or elite-restricted competitions, Grappling Industries is fully open-entry—allowing anyone to compete regardless of experience level, affiliation, or competitive resume.
The organization is best known for its extensive divisional structure, offering matches across age groups, belt levels, weight classes, and both gi and no-gi formats. This inclusivity has made Grappling Industries a popular proving ground for beginners entering their first tournament, seasoned amateurs building competition volume, and advanced athletes sharpening their skills through frequent, high-repetition matches.
With its round-robin style brackets and guaranteed matches, Grappling Industries emphasizes mat time, development, and accessibility over exclusivity. As a result, it has played a major role in growing grassroots grappling worldwide, serving as an entry point into competitive jiu-jitsu for thousands of athletes and a consistent competitive outlet for teams and individuals at every stage of their journey.
