Weight Divisions
What’s New at BJJTour: Updated Divisions to Support Our Athletes’ Growth!
At BJJTour, we’re always focused on safety, fair competition, and providing the best possible experience for our young athletes. That’s why we’re introducing important updates starting at our next championship:
- Mixed Division (Ages 4–6):
At this early stage, the focus is on fun and learning. Kids ages 4 to 6 will continue to compete in mixed divisions, with matches organized by belt and weight. -
Gender-Separated Divisions (Ages 7–15):
From ages 7 through 15, divisions will now be separated by belt, weight, and gender. This change is designed to ensure more balanced and fair matches, while also encouraging greater participation from coaches and parents who value these distinctions. -
Juvenile Division (Ages 16–17):
Juvenile athletes will compete in their own division, but they’ll also have the option to compete in the Adult division — as long as they meet belt and weight requirements and provide a signed waiver with parental authorization.
Special Bonus – Free Division! All kids will have the opportunity to participate in an optional Free Match during the event. This bonus match is perfect for those who want another round, more experience, or just to enjoy the moment. No need to register in advance — just sign up on the day of the event!
Our mission is to support the growth of Jiu-Jitsu through thoughtful updates, respect for all athletes, and an environment that promotes learning, fun, and healthy competition.
Let’s grow the sport together!
