Age and Masters Divisions

BJJ competitions are divided into age brackets to ensure fair and safe matchups. Youth divisions allow children and teens to compete against others in their age group, while adult divisions typically include athletes from 18 to 29 years old.

Masters divisions are available for competitors over 30, split further into age brackets (Masters 1, 2, etc.). These divisions recognize that older athletes may have different training loads, recovery times, and competition goals, creating a more balanced competitive field.
