How do I register for a BJJ competition?

The registration process varies by organization. For IBJJF events, you must first purchase an annual IBJJF membership, then register for the specific event through their website. You select your belt level, weight class, and age division. IBJJF also requires that your gym affiliation and instructor information be on file. For NAGA, Grappling Industries, and other organizations, registration is usually straightforward through their event pages. You select your experience level, weight class, and whether you want gi, no-gi, or both. Prices range from 50 to 150 dollars per division depending on the organization and event prestige. Some events offer early bird pricing for registering weeks in advance. Confirm your registration well before the event and print or save your confirmation. Double-check that you registered for the correct belt level, weight class, and age division. Common registration mistakes include selecting the wrong weight class because you forgot to account for gi weight, or registering in the adult division when you qualify for masters.
