BJJ toernooien in Amsterdam come in all sizes, from big international opens to smaller invitationals and jiu jitsu wedstrijden. Nearly every event takes place within the city itself, with Amstelveen just to the south hosting the occasional competition. For anyone training BJJ in Amsterdam, most brackets are a short tram or bike ride away, which helps on the morning of weigh-ins.
Grappling Industries Amsterdam is by far the most frequent event and runs several times a year. The AGI Amsterdam Grappling Invitational and the AGI Open are regular fixtures, as are Caulicup's Battle Royal and the Cauliflower Cup Circuit from Cauliflower Philosophy. The Kaizen League Amsterdam Gi and No-Gi adds another option. Our Amsterdam listings also include wrestling events, so check the discipline before you sign up.
Gi and No-Gi divisions are offered in roughly equal measure, and kids and absolute divisions each appear at around a quarter of events. Grappling Industries rules dominate, with some submission only events, and formats range from round robin and double elimination to king of the hill. Adult entry usually starts from around €20. October is the busiest month, followed by November, August, February and March.
