Charleston has a regular BJJ competition calendar, with most events held in the city and some also running in nearby North Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Summerville.
NEWBREED is the most active organizer, with the NEWBREED Charleston Spring Championship, Fall Championship and Triple Crown Series. PBJJF North America runs the Charleston Spring and Fall International Opens, CompNet Carolinas hosts the CompNet Carolinas Autumn Championship, and the Veterans Open Charleston has also been held in the city.
Gi divisions are a little more common than No-Gi, and around a third of events include an absolute division. Kids divisions are less common than in many other cities. September, May and November are among the busiest months for tournaments.
