About
The Submission Series for Calgary begins Saturday March 17th at the Deerfoot Dojo. Event begins at 9:30am with No Gi Adults continues with BJJ and then The Striker Series begins at 1:30pm.
There will be no children’s divisions at this event. If you are interested in having your child compete, please email me at myackulic@arashido.com if enough interest is there we will bring back the childrens divisions.
Want to stay up to date on upcoming events? Email me at myackulic@arashido.com and I will enter you into our email list (you will not be spammed).
Also, rules have changed this year. Please see www.ibjjf.org for the current rules. Some adjustments will be made, please see the rules section later this week for any exceptions to the ibjjf rules.
Lastly, to offer a more equal playing field we will be separating the No Gi Championship division into two separate divisions. One for Recreational people and new competitors and a division for those wishing to compete for the Championship belt. We hope this will encourage new people to come out and get some experience with our double elimination tournament and challenge the advanced people with a single elimination Championship tournament.
Good luck to all competitors and please feel free to email: myackulic@arashido.com with any questions.
