Why Sacramento

Where the champions are made

Most events knock you out in round one. Here, every athlete gets real mat time.

You fight. For real.

No more flying out just to lose once. Round Robin pools mean you face every athlete in your bracket.

Volume = growth

Four real matches with referees in a single day. The kind of mat time that changes your game.

IBJJF standard

Scoring, time and refereeing to the world's largest federation standard. No improvisation.

FAQ

Common questions

What does “4 guaranteed fights” mean?

Every competitor is placed in a Round Robin pool with at least 5 athletes. You face every athlete in your pool — win or lose.

Do I need an IBJJF membership?

No. We use IBJJF rules but don't require membership.

Is there a Kids division?

Yes — Kids start at 9:10 AM (weigh-ins begin at 8:15 AM). Divisions by age, weight and rank.

Can I bring spectators?

Yes — spectator tickets sold at the door. Kids under 8 are free.

What if I don't make weight? Am I disqualified?

No — you have a 3 lb tolerance. If you miss weight, you'll be moved up to the next division. We recommend weighing in at least 30 minutes before your division starts so we have time to update the bracket. Once your division begins, division changes are no longer possible.

How do refunds work?

Full refund guaranteed up to 3 days before the event. If for any reason you don't get matches on event day, you'll receive a voucher for a future United Grappling event or a full refund — your choice.
