The IBJJF has plans to move the American National Championship to a new city outside of Southern California. This will be the last year the event will be held in the CSU Dominguez Hills gymnasium but there’s good news.

There is still time to register for the event on September 8 and 9. Divisions are available for both gi and no-gi with some big black belt names already on the athlete list.

The deadline is Friday, August 30 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Prices are set for either the gi division alone or both gi and no-gi.

Don’t miss out on the last chance to compete in the Nationals in Southern California, especially if you reside in the area and don’t have to pay travel expenses to compete.

To register head to www.IBJJF.org where you can sign up, see who is already in, check the division rules and more.
