Planning your next bjj competition in Vancouver in 2026? Vancouver's upcoming jiu jitsu comps run from Grappling Industries events to submission grappling nights, plus the odd event down in Ladner.
Grappling Industries Vancouver is the event that keeps coming back, running more often than anything else on the local calendar. The AVA World Submission Grappling Federation CA is the most active organizer, with AVA Ultra Submission Grappling and the AVA Legends Masters tournament for older competitors. The ADCC Canada Vancouver Open, Peak Grappling Vancouver Scramble and the Compnet British Columbia Regionals Championship have also been held here.
Vancouver is split evenly between Gi and No-Gi, with each offered at about half of events, and around half include an absolute division. Kids divisions show up at a bit under a quarter of tournaments. Grappling Industries rules are the norm, and round robin brackets are common, so you are likely to get several matches on the day. Entry fees on priced events typically start somewhere around 70 to 130 CAD. October is the busiest month, followed by March, November, May and June.
