Stout PGH BJJ Gi Tournament August 20th, 2022

On August 20th, 2022 Stout PGH  will be hosting another Pittsburgh BJJ Tournament with men’s & women’s divisions, in white belts, blue belts & purple belt & above. This is a great opportunity for white & blue belts to start competing in a relaxed environment without spending a lot of money or for anyone looking for a good “tune-up” tournament to prepare for a competition later in the year. With a double elimination format competitors can expect to get a minimum of two matches. We will use a modified Grappling Industries ruleset for beginners brackets (white belts) & Grappling Industries ruleset for intermediate brackets (straight ankle locks & knee bars allowed) (blue belts). Due to high demand we are again adding an advanced bracket (ankle locks, knee bars & toe holds  allowed) You can do the bracket that is appropriate to your belt level if you have more experience than listed on the brackets (i.e. 2 year white belt, 4 year blue belt, etc.) However there are no leg locks beyond straight ankle lock at white belt & no heel hooks or toe holds at blue belt  & no heel hooks at purple & up. As it is in the gi, we will also not allow reaping.  This tournament once again, is open to any competitors, regardless of school or team affiliation!
