Events

Welcome to the second Ansbach Fightclub BJJ tournament!

The aim of our tournament is to offer inexperienced competitors and recreational athletes a safe competition environment. It is important to us that the health of the opponent means more to the participants than winning a small, local tournament.

If you still have questions that are not answered here, you can of course write to us at any time.

You only pay once, no matter how many classes (Gi/No-Gi/Glima) you enter. For early bookers the participation costs 29,- Euro and after that 35,- Euro. We are a registered association with no commercial purpose. The participation fees go entirely to the finances of the association and ensure that we can provide for our members and coaches – despite low membership fees – and continue to have the opportunity to organize such great competitions.

You can win incredible emotions, new friendships and a certificate/medal/trophy🙂

But beware: the number of participants is limited to 150!

The maximum number of participants was reached at our last tournament and no further registrations were possible. So please register in good time.

For information on the different divisions (classes), please refer to our separate page (in the “Divisions” menu at the top).

Rules and regulations

We fight – like the DJJV and the JJVB, to which we belong – Gi & No-Gi according to the IBJJF rules. White belts start under the white belt rules – blue belts and higher fight according to the black belt rules. IBJJF rules, without guarantee of correctness: https://ibjjf.com/books-videos

Tournament system

For the Gi-/No-Gi fights in BJJ it is planned to fight Round Robin or Best of 3 depending on the number of participants. In Glima, you fight against one opponent best of 3, how many fights are contested here is determined by the number of participants on the day of the tournament.

Payment of the participation fee

Payment should be possible and made via PayPal. We cannot offer an alternative payment method. Your registration for the tournament is only considered complete once you have paid Smoothcomp. If you do not register in time, you may not be able to participate on site. Deadlines for registration, deregistration and refund of the participation fee can be found on Smoothcomp alone.

We do not provide any special treatment other than the deadlines set out here. Please refrain from contacting us in this regard.

Schedule and notes

The tournament will probably take place in the gymnasium of the Carolinum Gymnasium, Reuterstraße 2, 91522 Ansbach. Please inquire about the parking situation beforehand. We recommend the parking garage Altstadt / Mühlbach (see https://www.ansbach.de/B%C3%BCrger/%C3%96PNV-Verkehr/Parken/).

We plan to fight from 10:00 to around 18:00. We cannot guarantee 100% compliance with this time. The time given is merely based on experience with our last tournament.

From 9 a.m. we will be available with two scales for weighing in. You have the opportunity to weigh in up to one hour before your first fight. Please note that you may still be in the queue before the weigh-in and that the fight times may be moved forward depending on how things go.

Showers are always available in the gym.

Special program Glima

At the end of our BJJ tournament we plan to offer a small Glima competition.

Glima is Nordic wrestling, in the sporting form with the following approach:

The one who stands up while the other is still lying on the ground is the winner. Even if both athletes go down, the focus is on getting up as quickly as possible (at least faster than the other 🙂 ).

Levers and chokes are prohibited – it’s all about getting up as quickly as possible. The focus is therefore on throwing without going down yourself. You must always attack and there is no time limit (but this is usually not a problem 😉 ).
