Brighton is one of the busiest BJJ competition cities on the south coast, with events concentrated in spring and autumn. All Stars BJJ and BJJ247 are the most active organisers.
All Stars BJJ runs All Stars BJJ Brighton and the All Stars BJJ Beach Break, while BJJ247 holds the Brighton Winter Open, Brighton Spring Open and Brighton Open. The Sussex Open runs summer and winter editions, and Grappling Cooperative also organises events in the city.
Gi and No-Gi divisions are offered in equal measure. Around a quarter of events include an absolute division and a little over a fifth run kids divisions. Adult entry typically costs around £10–£50. October and November are the busiest months, followed by May and April.
