Raleigh hosts a regular run of BJJ tournaments, with NEWBREED Ultimate Challenge the most active organizer. Its Raleigh Winter Championship returns each year, alongside the NEWBREED Raleigh Championship and the North Carolina State Championship.
Tap Cancer Out brings its Raleigh BJJ Open to the city, FUJI BJJ runs the Raleigh Fall Championships, and the PBJJF US National Jiu Jitsu Championship and the Good Fight NC Spring Open have also been held here. Some events take place in nearby Morrisville.
Gi and No-Gi divisions are offered in equal measure, around four in ten events include an absolute division, and roughly a third have kids divisions. December, February and October are the busiest months, with September and April close behind.
