Ann Arbor BJJ

COMPETE.

Competing here is optional, and it's open to any age and any level. Tell your coach, do the work, and we'll help you get ready for the big day.

How It Works

WANT TO
COMPETE?

Three steps. No application and no tryout — the room and the program do the work. Every class here is live, so you're already training like a competitor.

Kids compete too. Parents, talk to your child's coach — and kids who want more can earn a spot on the Kids Athlete Track.

TELL YOUR COACH

Let your coach know you're looking to compete. That's the whole first step — once we know, we can help you get ready.

DO THE WORK

Train 4 times a week for at least the month before you compete. Off the mat, members get the strength, mobility and nutrition programs on the members' page (password-protected — members get the password).

Where We Compete

TOURNAMENTS.

We're a no-gi academy, so we compete at no-gi events: ADCC Opens, UFC BJJ Opens, IBJJF No-Gi, and Grappling Industries here in Michigan.

REGISTER IN GYMDESK.

Every tournament the team is going to is endorsed in GymDesk, which is now connected to Smoothcomp — the platform most of these events run on. Open your GymDesk account, pick an endorsed event, and register: the form is filled in with your details and you're entered under Ann Arbor BJJ.

By Invitation

THE ADCC
COMP TEAM.

This is our competition program: professional-level preparation built around the ADCC Opens — your training week, your strength work, and your nutrition, planned with your coach.

There's no application. The athletes in it were approached for one reason: they compete, and they work hard. If that's you and we think it's a good fit, we may reach out. You can also ask your coach about it.
