NIJMEGEN OPEN BJJ 2027

The Nijmegen Open BJJ 2027 is a Gi-only tournament following IBJJF standards with extensive divisions for kids (ages 4–15), adults (16+), and masters (30–40 and 40+). All belt levels are welcome, including kids' colour belts.

Competition format: Round-robin guarantees every competitor at least 2 matches. Bracket style depends on division size: round-robin for up to 5 competitors, round-robin with elimination for up to 20, and double K.O. brackets for larger fields. Absolutes use single knockout (blue belt and up only).

Registration:

• Adults: €40 early (until April 1, 2026), €50 normal, €60 late
• Kids: €30 early, €35 late
• Black belts compete free

White belts are split into beginners (under 6 months) and advanced (6+ months). Masters divide into two age brackets. Boys and girls compete together in the youngest age groups; separate brackets in older divisions unless numbers are insufficient.

Event details: Doors open 8:00 with first matches at 9:00 and competition running until 18:00. Weigh-in runs 8:00–13:00 (must finish at least 1.5 hours before your bracket starts). Eight mats and a dedicated warm-up area are available. Spectator entry costs €10 at the door.

Top 3 academies in kids and adults divisions receive team trophies; medals awarded to individual medalists.
