The level of competition is growing tremendously in Canada. The only problem is that most of the highest level bjj’ers in Canada are teaching, coaching or fighting MMA so it’s rare to find many blackbelts or even brown belts at the local competitions.

That should change over the next decade as the sport grows in Ontario and the rest of Canada.

Currently, the World Championships, Pan/American games and of course Abu Dhabi championships are loaded with highest level of competitors.

Plus I love the road trip idea as myself, friends and students can share some good memories of the trip.

I wouldn’t be able to compete at my own tournament but perhaps someday in the future I may compete locally if given a good opportunity.

thanks
