Description
Welcome to the Salisbury Open Junior Championships — a celebration of the next generation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Today is about courage, learning, and stepping onto the mats to test yourself. For many of these young athletes, this may be their first competition; for others, it’s another step in a journey built on discipline, resilience, and hard work.
Set in the shadow of the historic Salisbury Cathedral, we’re proud to bring together teams, families, and coaches to support these young competitors as they challenge themselves and grow through the art of Jiu-Jitsu.
Win or lose, every match is a chance to learn, improve, and show the values that make our community special: respect, determination, and heart.
Good luck to all competitors — the future of Jiu-Jitsu is on the mats today.

MERGES
On check day and will start to make any necessary merges. Ideally there should be at least 4 in a category in case someone does not show up, so fights can still go ahead. You also have the opportunity to merge/move yourself into another category on Check Day. We will be doing Round Robin if there aren’t enough competitors in your division. Going to try our utmost to avoid merges.
