One of the great things about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is that it is a dynamic martial art that continues to evolve.   Similarly the Queensland Brazilian Jiu Jitsu League is evolving.

As the number of BJJ participants has increased in Queensland, it is important to evolve the format of competition in line with what is happening in the world of Jiu Jitsu.  With this in mind we are introducing a new competition format based on the World Professional Jiu Jitsu Cup (WPJJC) which is held annually in Abu Dhabi.

(The World Professional Jiu Jitsu Cup is the most prestigious BJJ tournament in the world, attracting the best athletes from over 100 countries. This competition is unique with qualifying trials held in major cities around the world. In Australia these trials are held in Sydney.  There are major prizes awarded to the winners of the WPJJC with a prize pool of around $250,000. All qualifiers from Sydney have their flights and accommodation paid to attend the Abu Dhabi tournament.)

Whilst there are many local tournaments in Queensland we believe it is important that we provide Queensland Brazilian Jiu Jitsu participants with the best opportunity to improve their performance and participate in such a prestigious competition.  Therefore the new  QBJJL tournament will follow the rules and format of the WPJJC.

We have developed the new tournament format under the guidance of Alex Prates and Bernardo Trekko who are the organisers of the WPJJC Qualifying tournament in Sydney.

With their help, the QBJJL tournament will transform into  a world class competition. Read the rest of this entry »
