BJJ NOGI Competition - IBJJF RULES - SAT 2 NOV 2013

You can now register online for the biggest BJJ Nogi Competition in Auckland, New Zealand.

 Make use of the early bird option and save $10 if you register before  Saturday 26 October 2013.

Closing of the registration: Wednesday 30 October 2013


You can now start your diet to aim for your weight category.

They will be using IBJJF rules but no advantages rule and also no belt system (just 3 divisions of beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced divisions for all weight classes).

I expect some of the divisions to have over 25 competitors as per their last competition.

So plenty of fights to get the gold medal. Get that cardio ready for November.

NZ Grappler’s NO-GI NATIONALS is the largest grappling competition in New Zealand.
Don’t miss your chance to challenge yourself among the best of New Zealand.
This year’s 2013 event will be awarding the Men’s Absolute division grand-prize winner a free trip to Las Vegas USA to compete at Grappler’s Quest in 2014 (IMPORTANT: You must have competed in an NZ Grappler tournament in 2013 to qualify for the Absolute grand prize).

The event will take place at the TRUSTS ARENA in Henderson, Auckland 2-3 November 2013. Adults will compete on Saturday 2nd November, while kids 16 years and under will compete on Sunday 3rd November.

REGISTRATION FEE

Until 11:59 pm Saturday 26 October 2013
Adults: $50
Kids: $40

Until 11:59 pm Wednesday 30 October 2013
Adults: $60

SPECTATOR FEE

We will need to charge spectator fees to cover the costs of renting the venue. The TRUSTS ARENA has proven to be an excellent venue for the event, so we would like to continue to provide the best venue for our competitors.

Kids: $2

DIVISIONS
Competition is for both kids and adults of all levels and from all academies. There will be Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced divisions for all weight classes.
The adult weight classes in kilograms (kg) are:
MEN: 55, 60, 66, 74, 84, 96, 120, over 120
WOMEN: 65, over 65
RULES AND SCORING
This year’s NO GI rules will be the same as IBJJF without use of the advantage scoring.
Moving forward, all NZ Grappler’s tournaments will use IBJJF rules and scoring.
We are getting better with adaptation of the IBJJF rules with each event, which helps prepare all our competitors for international BJJ and grappling tournaments.

Linjian Chan Graduation

  Dear members of the Auckland BJJ community, Today, we gather to celebrate the remarkable achievements of one of our own, Linjian Chen, who has earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Linjian's journey has been unique and inspiring, starting in his 50s and culminating with this incredible achievement. As we honor Linjian's dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to his training, I am reminded of a quote by Bruce Lee, who said, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Linjian embodies this spirit of action and determination, always pushing himself to be better and never giving up on his goals. Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Linjian's journey to this point has been long and challenging, but he has always shown that he has what it takes to succeed. His strength, d...

Antonio Claudio Collares “Tonicão” Jiu Jitsu

I try to not copy other people's articles.  However I made an exception on this one because it is near impossible finding out interview of the master translated in English. Tonicao means big Toni (just in case you wondered). Tonicao gave the black belt to Douglas Santos. Therefore Tonicao is part of our lineage. I got the info from http://klbjj.blogspot.co.nz/2008/06/interview-with-tonicao.html Interview with Tonicao I translated from Portuguese to English and made some corrections. INTERVIEW WITH TONICÃO The first developer of Jiu - Jitsu in Santa Catarina, this black belt (almost red and black) of 54 years well lived, 30 of them devoted to the Jiu - Jitsu , is definitely a person with a lot of histories . An extremely "good people", that captivates people in 10 minutes of conversation, no exception to the questions and plays with death. Enjoy the result of this pleasant conversation with the "Master Tonicão " which lasted an...
