5th Annual Scottish Cup of BJJ

Scottish Grappling proudly presents the Scottish BJJ Cup which will take place at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility Motherwell on 8th September

The event will be contested under standard IBJJF rules.  The event is UKBJJA ranked for Gi and No Gi.

This event is capped at 275 competitors.

We will once again be running both Gi and No-Gi divisions! 

The gi competition is open to all belt divisions. 

No gi divisions are by BJJ rank or time served. If you train at a Gi school then follow the BJJ Belt (taking into account the other restrictions mentioned e.g. no black belt judoka, pro mma fighters or national level wrestlers in white belt divisions), otherwise it's time served.

Respect Rule

This event has a zero tolerance policy regarding inappropriate behavior by coaches, parents/guardians, spectators and competitors.

All in attendance must show some restraint when their students or team mates are fighting. There will be competitors and spectators of all ages at this event and we are here to set an example.

Any swearing, inappropriate gestures, violence (towards person or property) or berating the officials (regardless of any decisions they make) will not be tolerated.

If this happens, the referee/organiser has the right to disqualify that competitor, or to ask the person concerned to leave the area. If those concerned do not comply with the referee/organisers request the competitor will be disqualified from the event.

If a coach, parent or team mate encroaches onto the mat, or past any barriers that are in place, or man handles an official in any way, that person will be asked to leave the venue and the whole team may not be permitted to take any further part in the competition
