Canberra and the wider ACT have their own calendar of BJJ tournaments. Nearly everything runs in the city itself, with the odd event over the border in Queanbeyan, so for most Canberra BJJ competitors the next comp is a short drive away.
Grappling Industries Canberra is the most regular event, and the Canberra Cup and the Challengers Grappling Series have each come around more than once. The ACT BJJ state championship has also featured. Organisers active here include ACT Wrestling, Savage Grappling, Beyond Grappling Club and the Martial Arts Open Invitational, so the calendar mixes pure BJJ with broader grappling events.
Gi and No-Gi are evenly split, with each offered at a bit more than half of events, so you can usually compete in both on the same weekend. Around four in ten include an absolute and close to a third have kids divisions. November is the busiest month, followed by March and October, and the lowest published entry fee tends to sit around 25 AUD.
