North American Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (NABJJF)

The NABJJF is a governing body dedicated to organizing and promoting BJJ tournaments across North America. Established to support regional athletes, it provides standardized rules, ranking points, and a competitive platform that mirrors the structure of IBJJF events.

The federation has been pivotal in developing talent across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, helping to cultivate a strong competitive scene outside Brazil. By hosting both local and major tournaments, NABJJF offers pathways for athletes to gain recognition and compete internationally.

NABJJF also focuses on community engagement, educational initiatives, and referee certification, contributing to the professionalization of BJJ in North America. Its growth reflects the increasing popularity and accessibility of the sport across the continent.
