Richmond is a regular stop on the Virginia BJJ calendar. NEWBREED Ultimate Challenge holds its Virginia State Championship here, along with Richmond Summer and Spring Championships, and NAGA returns for the Richmond Grappling Championship.
FUJI BJJ runs Richmond Summer and Winter Championships, and United Grappling has a Richmond event in the fall. Some tournaments are held in nearby Mechanicsville and Doswell.
November is by far the busiest month, followed by October, January, June and August. Gi and No-Gi divisions are both offered at most events, around four in ten include an absolute division, and roughly a third have kids divisions.
