We welcome and invite all Jiu-Jitsu academies to participate in the 2026 Ontario Open International Jiu-Jitsu Championship - GI Edition
With over 2000 competitors competing in Gi matches during our two day tournament in May 2025 in Oshawa, it was very apparent that BJJ continues to grow each and every year.
