We invite all the true Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academies to help us carry the flag of this sport into the future. Join us on August 6th, 2011 at St Josephs College. This tournament is a celebration of Jiu Jitsu. We are trying to give an opportunity to everyone to become part of the next page in the history of Jiu Jitsu in Canada. This tournament will showcase the sport of brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We need you to be part of the revolution of this sport in North America. We need to be unified, we need to show solidarity by coming together to honor the tradition of brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition. We want to demonstrate great Jiu Jitsu, we want to show who we are, we want to exhibit the glory of healthy rivalries between teams and how they help the sport to progress, develop, and grow.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more than a sport, it is rooted deeply in tradition, and tried and tested methodology since it was founded in Brazil. In this tournament we aim to honor this heritage and lineage by organizing the tournament in the same manner as the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation. We want to pay tribute to the sport’s founders by not just coming to compete and determine who is best on the day but, we want to live the Jiu Jitsu ideology, philosophy, lifestyle.
This type of competition readies competitors for the highest level of international competition by adhering to international rules, regulations, and standards. We are already seeing the fruits of the previous Copa Ontario tournaments which produced several champions at this years mundial (worlds championships). The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu format of competition had lead to greater things for many of the stars of the sport. Champions like BJ Penn, Marcelo Garcia, Demian Maia, Rodrigo Noguerra, and many more got their starts on the tatami’s of Jiu Jitsu.
What makes the Copa Ontario Tournament Special? Divisions will have a specific start time that will be released two days prior to the event along with the brackets. No waiting hours and hours, wondering when your division is going to start. We try ensure that everyone’s matches are referred by black belts; our last tournament had seven black belt referees.
