In addition to the general tournament, we will also feature:

BROWN/BLACK BELT TEAM CHALLENGE 3
Claudio Franca pioneered the team tournament in Rio in 1990, and this is the first time, to our knowledge, that this has been recreated here in the States. Each participating team will enter 3 black or brown belts in one open weight male black/brown division.

The winning team--the team that wins the most fights--will take home $3,000. In the event that there are more than two teams, the second place team will receive $500.

Team registration will be $100. Teams may be created in any way, as long as all members are legitimate black or brown belts.

A team may enter with just 2 competitors, if they wish, however, this will diminish the team's chances of taking first place. A fourth competitor can be included on the team as an alternate, in case of last-minute injury or illness.

BROWN/BLACK BELT FEMALE SUPERFIGHTS
These superfights will match up brown and black belt women close in weight. We will work hard find good matches for any interested brown and black belt women! (Please email us if you know of anyone who is interested! blackbelt@claudiofrancabjj.com )
