Manchester is the main competition hub in the north of England, hosting BJJ tournaments throughout the year for competitors from Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and beyond.
All Stars BJJ is the most active organiser in the city, running its North, Manchester, Summer and Winter events several times a year. BJJ247 runs the Grappling Clash series and the Empower events, and the Manchester Spring Open is another regular fixture.
Most events offer both Gi and No-Gi divisions, and some run kids brackets as well. Entry fees here are among the most affordable in the UK, with some events starting from around £10. November is the busiest month, followed by March, June and January.
