BJJ LEAGUE #12 – NORWAY

The BJJ League in Norway started in 2022, focusing on kids and providing a safe and competitive environment. As we grew, we outgrew the club facilities. Thanks to everyone’s support, we’re moving to a bigger venue, expanding to include adults and masters. The BJJ League is run by BJJ people who honor the sport, respect the rules, and promote a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
