Chewjitsu Open Branson 2024
Join Nick "Chewy" Albin at the Chewjitsu Open Tournament and Seminar!
Chewjitsu Open is not your average tournament! Get ready for MORE MATCHES at this SUB ONLY, Round Robin, Madison style bracketed tournament, grouping you with your nearest weight and experience/age level. You’ll have up to 4 matches per division and not have to worry about cutting or missing weight!
Come back the next day to learn from IBJJF Worlds & three-time Pan Am Champion Nick “Chewy” Albin at a three hour, No Gi seminar. You don’t have to compete to participate in the seminar, but discount rates are available if you do!
The Chewjitsu Open offers Gi and No Gi divisions for all ages with medals and championship belt prizes, as well as optional Absolute divisions with cash prizes for adults. 16 and 17 year old participants have the option to compete in youth or adult divisions. Youth ages 8 and under are points only, no submissions, to provide a safe and competitive event for kids.
