Louisiana's tournaments are spread across the state rather than concentrated in New Orleans. Bossier City and Gonzales host the most events, followed by Baton Rouge, Houma, Broussard and New Orleans.
The American Grappling Federation runs the AGF Bossier Open, AGF Bossier Championships and AGF Baton Rouge Championships. NEWBREED holds spring and fall championships in Baton Rouge, and FUJI BJJ runs the Louisiana State Championship and the Monroe Winter Championship. The Cajun Cup and charity events such as the Warriors of Hope No-Gi tournament and Roll for a Cause also return regularly.
No-Gi divisions are slightly more common than Gi, and close to a third of events offer kids divisions. Adult entry fees range from around $20 to $95, with many events toward the higher end. October is the busiest month, followed by December, November and August.
