Upcoming IBJJF, ADCC and other major Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and no-gi grappling events.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is decided on the ground, by submission or by points earned for improving position. The competitive calendar splits into two worlds: the tournament circuit run by the IBJJF, and invitational events built around individual matchups.

In the gi, competitors wear the traditional jacket and trousers and can grip them — which slows the pace and opens up chokes that use the collar and sleeves. No-gi removes those grips, so the game moves faster and leans on body locks and leg entanglements. Most competitors train both, but the two are scored as separate divisions and reward different games.
IBJJF rules award points for takedowns, sweeps, guard passes, mount and back control, with an advantage recorded for a near-miss that did not quite complete. A submission ends the match regardless of the score. Competitors are divided by belt, age and weight, so a single championship runs hundreds of brackets over several days.
The IBJJF runs the sport's championship structure — Worlds, Pans, Europeans and the No-Gi Worlds — across both gi and no-gi. ADCC is the most prestigious submission grappling event and is held every two years, using a scoring system that penalises passivity and rewards submission attempts. Polaris and the UFC Fight Pass Invitational build cards around single superfights rather than brackets.
