The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation returns to Texas, this time in Dallas, for the Dallas International Open tournament on May 8.  The IBJJF puts on some of the best run tournaments in the world, in fact, the IBJJF hosts the official world championships of BJJ!  Be sure to check out www.ibjjf.org for more info and make sure to become familiar with the rules as they are strictly enforced (and quite different from most local tournaments).  Remember, you weigh in with your gi minutes before your first match and your gi must meet certain size, color, and patch requirements.  Don’t miss this tournament – some of the biggest names in BJJ travel and compete in each IBJJF event, and this one should be no different.

World Grappling Circuit and Fight 2 Win will be hosting the Texas State Championships of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Submission Wrestling on April 23, 2011 at the Legends Sports Complex in Spring, Texas!  WGC/F2W consistently put on well run events, and their most recent one was the largest in Texas to date!  Go to www.worldgrapplingcircuit.com for more information or to register.
