🦁 BRAVE CHAMPION AWARDS: STARTING IN 2026

At Brave Jiu-Jitsu, our goal is simple. We want every child to have a positive, fair, and encouraging competition experience. We are committed to creating events where kids feel supported, are matched fairly,  gain confidence, learn respect and sportsmanship, and leave proud of themselves. 

Every improvement we make is for the athletes and families who trust us with their experience. Brave Jiu-Jitsu exists because of parents, coaches, and kids like you. Your support allows us to keep raising the standard for youth tournaments and building something truly special for the next generation.

Our events are built to celebrate effort, growth, and sportsmanship, not just winning. Beginning in 2026, we are introducing a new Team Awards System that gives every academy a fair chance to be recognized, whether they bring a large team or a small one. 

Team Points Award - Recognizes teams that earn the most medals overall. This rewards teamwork, participation, and consistency.

Points Per Athlete Award - Measures how well each team performs on average per child. This allows smaller teams to shine and keeps competition fair.

Win Rate Award - Recognizes teams that perform strongly in matches based on wins versus total matches.

Overall Champion Trophy -  Our highest honor. This award goes to the team that performs well across all categories. It reflects true all-around excellence in teamwork, coaching, and performance.

Some tournaments only reward big teams. We believe every academy deserves a chance to be recognized.

That is why our system balances: total medals, match performance, and performance per athlete. This means both large and small teams can succeed.

✅ Eligibility Basics - To keep results meaningful and fair, teams must meet simple participation minimums based on event size. Teams that meet the minimums qualify for all awards. Teams that do not will still appear in results and can still earn medals.
