AZ State BJJ Federation



2017 AZ Kids Cup and Copa Bella
The 2017 AZ Kids Cup and Copa Bella tournaments will take place on April 29, 2017 at Phoenix College. These tournaments offer kids and women a fantastic opportunity to compete in a very supportive environment. Previous editions of these tournaments have seen big turnouts from some of the top competition teams in the state, including Maracaba BJJ, One Jiu Jitsu, Lotus Club BJJ, Ares/Nava BJJ, CTA, GD Jiu Jitsu/Horizons Martial Arts and BJJ Revolution Team, among others.
The growth of Jiu Jitsu among all demographics has been tremendous in the past few years, with much of this growth being fueled by kids and women. In a recent article put out by FloGrappling, 2016 female registration for the 5 biggest Jiu Jitsu tournaments rose by 23.5% compared to 2015 and 48.4% compared to 2014. While many women typically start Jiu Jitsu for the physical fitness and self-defense benefits, it is clear that competition offers unique benefits beyond those gained in the training room.
For all relevant information related to the AZ Kids Cup and Copa Bella, including registration deadlines, please visit gdjjevents.com. We hope to see everyone on the mats!

Jiu-Jitsu Is A TEAM Sport !


Jiu-Jitsu Is A TEAM Sport ! 
By
Kris Reid 
We often think of jiu-jitsu as a one-on-one sport, and indeed there are only two people inside those four lines.
However, to say jiu-jitsu is a singles sport would be a grave mistake. While there are many elements that make Jiu Jitsu seem this way, it is , in fact a team sport.  Most jiu-jitsu practitioners know this, so this may be “preaching to the choir” , but I feel it needs to be said. We learn as a team, we train as a team, and we even compete as a team, regardless of what anyone may think. 
In training we need someone to learn with. We need a partner who will allow us to drill moves and push us in rolling. We often use this word “partner,” in lieu of what they really are: teammates. You would never go to your biggest rival and ask him to help you prepare for competition (in most cases), this just doesn’t make sense. No, you look for a teammate within your own academy.
In tournaments we all know we get individual medals, but people often overlook the big picture: the team trophies.  We all work together as a team to earn the trophy, and that’s what the real goal is for many professors who run big schools. It’s really easy to have a bad day and end up losing the first round, but this is not always going to be the outcome for your team.
Another key point is that someone is usually coaching you. This person is either your professor or another person from your academy, but either way you are teammates helping each other out. This is something we do for our teammates. Could you image having a rival coach or student come to your corner? No, because it doesn’t make sense.
When the day is over, whether we win or lose, our team is always there for us. These people support us win or lose and are always willing to help. In the event of a win, the congratulatory messages overflow; and in the event of a loss, we end up with an outstanding wave of support as well. Most of the time your professor and other students will work with you on the things you could have done better and help you come back even better. This is a key component of a team sport.
So, no matter how much it may seem like you are alone on the competition mats, it is important to remember that you are not really competing alone. You have a whole team of people who helping you, coaching, and cheering for you; and they will continue to do so, regardless of the outcome.
