Jackson hosts about half of the BJJ tournaments in Mississippi, with the Gulf Coast cities of Biloxi and Gulfport accounting for most of the rest.
The American Grappling Federation runs the AGF Jackson Open, AGF Jackson Championships and AGF Biloxi Open. NEWBREED holds Jackson Spring and Summer Championships, FUJI BJJ runs a Biloxi Winter Championship, and Steel Coast hosts a kids round-robin series.
Gi and No-Gi divisions are offered equally, and around one in four events runs kids divisions. Entry fees vary by event. August and November are the busiest months, followed by March.
