How does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu work as a sport?

Do you go to tournaments as a team or what do you do?

  • Same as any other sport, they keep score and you win via points (or by submitting your opponent).

    You can go as a team, but you don't compete as one, often teammates are pitted against each other if they are within the same weight class.

    Keyboard warrior said it very well.

  • Yes you go to tournaments and competitions. It works very similar to wrestling. You win based on points or by submitting your opponent. You can go as a team, or you can go by yourself. BJJ isn't a team sport though, so often times you are often pitted against teammates.
