"Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is second to none!" Every detail was well thought out—from the brackets to the venue flow." ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Brave Kids is a breath of fresh air in the Jiu-Jitsu world. The event was intimate enough to feel personal, but big enough to give kids meaningful matches and podium moments. My son competed in both Gi and No-Gi and had the time of his life. From the moment we walked in, everything felt dialed in—staff knew what they were doing, and every step of the process was seamless. I especially appreciated the prayer before matches started—it grounded the whole event in something bigger than just medals. We’ll be Brave regulars from here on out! 

This tournament was top-tier from start to finish. I’ve seen a lot of chaos at youth Jiu-Jitsu events, but Brave Kids ran like a well-oiled machine. We got clear texts, fast weigh-ins, and a bracket system that actually worked. What really stuck with me was the atmosphere—it was uplifting, family-oriented, and full of joy. Our daughter was matched fairly, had plenty of mat time, and left feeling proud of herself. Thank you, Caio and team, for running a tournament that puts the kids first and still keeps things professional. We’re hooked. 

The Brave Kids tournament exceeded all of our expectations. The team clearly puts a lot of love into what they do, and it shows in every part of the event. The brackets were fair, matches started early, and the volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. My son loved the energy of the day and especially the podium photos—which looked amazing, by the way. I appreciated the spiritual tone and the focus on community over competition. We'll absolutely be returning and bringing more teammates with us next time. This is how kids’ Jiu-Jitsu should feel. 

Shoutout to the Brave Kids team for pulling off one of the smoothest, most kid-centered events we’ve ever been a part of. Everything from check-in to podium photos was run with care and attention to detail. I especially loved how much respect and sportsmanship was encouraged throughout the day. My son lost a tough match but was met with so much encouragement from staff and even other parents. The opening prayer over the athletes really set this tournament apart. We left feeling uplifted and supported—and that’s exactly how youth sports should feel. 

Brave Kids is one of those rare events that actually gets better the more you think about it. On the surface, everything was smooth—matches ran on time, the bracket system was clear, and communication was constant and helpful. But what really stood out was the intentionality behind everything. The opening prayer was beautiful and set the tone for a respectful, uplifting day. The medals were well-designed, and the Brave-themed trophies felt like something special. My son has been showing his off to everyone at school. We felt like this event wasn’t just for the competitors—it was for the whole family. And Brave nailed it. 

Let me just say—Brave Kids gets it right. We’ve done local comps, big-name comps, and everything in between. But nothing has felt as warm, professional, and well-run as this tournament. It was clear from the start that this wasn’t just about medals. It was about giving kids an experience they’d remember, and making parents feel part of it too. The VIP area was such a thoughtful touch—finally, a place where we could film without ten heads in front of us! My son was in one of the larger brackets, and it still ran beautifully. The digital screens kept everything updated, the refs were kind and engaged, and the event staff had a positive attitude all day long (even when things got hectic). I especially appreciated the attention to detail—custom cards for the kids, motivational signage, clean mats, and an organized podium photo setup. Also? The energy during the prayer and anthem at the beginning gave me goosebumps. In a sport where ego sometimes creeps in, Brave Kids was a reminder of what it’s really about: courage, faith, and family. Thank you for creating a space where our kids can grow—not just as athletes, but as humans.

We’ve been to many kids’ tournaments, and Brave Kids truly stood out in terms of professionalism and purpose. My son Derek had a tough bracket, but the experience overall was top tier. The staff was approachable, and Caio made himself available throughout the day to help with any concerns. Even though we had a match that felt unfair, the transparency and follow-up gave us peace of mind. The medals were gorgeous, the venue was clean, and the pacing of the event made for a smooth experience. We’ll be watching for the next one and showing up ready! 

 Brave Kids blew us away. This was my son’s first competition, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the tournament world. The atmosphere was electric but never overwhelming, and everyone—from the staff to the other parents—was friendly and encouraging. I loved how organized everything was, from weigh-ins to the brackets, and the text updates kept us in the loop all day. My son felt like a superstar with his Brave lanyard and even mentioned how “cool” the medals were compared to other tournaments he’s seen. But most of all, I appreciated the way the event opened with a prayer. It felt meaningful and grounded everything in something bigger. 

We drove in from Temecula for this event and let me say—it was worth every mile. I’ve coached youth sports for over a decade, and Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most impressive events I’ve seen in terms of logistics, energy, and professionalism. The venue was perfect—not too big or too cramped—and the flow of the tournament was surprisingly seamless. Every bracket my team competed in ran early or on time. For those of us used to waiting hours at other comps, that alone was a win.

I appreciated how Brave balances structure with heart. It’s clear that Caio and his team care deeply about the athletes. From the moment of prayer at the start to the way they guided first-time competitors through the warm-up and weigh-in process, it felt like we were being taken care of—not just processed. The medals were beautiful, the Brave gear looked awesome (please drop more merch soon!), and the sense of community was real. I saw coaches from different teams encouraging each other’s kids and staff high-fiving little ones whether they won or lost. This is the kind of event that keeps families engaged in Jiu-Jitsu for the long haul. Bravo, Brave Kids. You’re building something truly special.

We came in from out of town for Brave Kids and it was 100% worth the trip. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was energetic but organized. We were impressed with the smooth check-in, on-time matches, and the friendly, professional staff. My son was thrilled to win gold and said the trophy was the coolest one he's ever gotten. As a parent, I loved the clear communication before and during the event. And starting the day with prayer? That sealed the deal for us. We’re officially Brave fans.  

Brave Kids was our first tournament experience, and I honestly can’t imagine a better introduction to the competition scene. I was nervous—worried about how chaotic it would be, if my daughter would get matched fairly, if we’d know where to go and when. But those fears vanished the moment we walked in. Staff greeted us with smiles, the check-in was quick, and my daughter was given a lanyard with her ID card which she immediately treasured like a medal. Everything ran smoothly—our matches were actually ahead of schedule, and the tournament never felt like it dragged. The volunteers were helpful and approachable, and when we had questions, Caio himself took the time to help us out. The space was clean, well laid out, and even had a great podium area for pictures. But most importantly: the vibe. This wasn’t just another sports event—it was a day filled with purpose, family, and joy. My daughter didn’t win her bracket, but she walked out with a smile and told me it was one of the best days of her life. That means more to me than gold. Brave Kids isn’t just a tournament—it’s a memory maker.

 This tournament was everything we hoped it would be and more. The size was perfect—not too crowded, but plenty of strong competition. My daughter especially loved the trophies and the fact that the event felt like it was just for them. Caio and the team did a fantastic job keeping things on schedule and communicating clearly throughout the day. We appreciated how smooth registration and weigh-ins were, and I was really impressed by how attentive the staff was. You can tell this event was created with love and purpose.  

As a coach and father of two young competitors, I’ve attended more tournaments than I can count, but Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu stood out in a major way. The event felt like it was built for the kids first—something that’s unfortunately rare these days. Everything, from registration to check-in to match management, was fluid and hassle-free. We appreciated how clearly communication was handled through text and email. There was never a moment where we felt lost or confused about where to go or what was happening. My daughter was in a tough bracket and came away with silver, but she left feeling proud. That’s a testament to the environment Brave creates. The staff treated the kids with genuine encouragement, and the atmosphere was electric but safe. Starting the day by honoring the flag and lifting a prayer over the kids was a beautiful and grounding gesture. We need more of that in the sport. Also—props to Caio. His presence was felt throughout the day, and I watched him personally help parents, update brackets, and handle tech issues. He cares, and that’s the foundation of something truly great. We’ll be back with our entire team next time.

We’ve participated in several tournaments across the West Coast, and Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is the one that left the strongest impression—by far. From the moment we walked into the venue, everything felt intentional, welcoming, and organized. My son was thrilled just to receive his Brave lanyard with his info card—something so simple, but it made him feel important and seen. As a mom, I noticed the little things: the friendly staff at the door, the volunteers helping kids navigate the brackets, and the DJ playing music that kept the energy fun but never overwhelming. What truly stood out to me was how the tournament opened—with the national anthem and a prayer. That moment was powerful. It reminded all of us that this is bigger than sport—it’s about values, unity, and community. The brackets ran ahead of schedule (a miracle!), and the VIP seating gave us an unobstructed view of our son's matches, allowing us to record and cheer him on from close. The medals were beautifully crafted, the podium photos looked professional, and the vibe throughout the day was simply joyful. Thank you, Brave Kids. You’ve earned our family’s loyalty.

We were incredibly impressed with the structure and flow of Brave Kids. My daughter has been competing for almost a year now, and she said this was her favorite tournament by far. She loved the venue layout, the energy, and how everything felt like it was designed to make the kids feel proud and celebrated. The medals were next-level, and the podium photo setup made for some amazing keepsakes. Every tournament has bumps, but Brave handled everything with grace and professionalism. Huge thank you to the staff and especially Caio, who was hands-on all day long. 

Huge shoutout to Brave Kids for running such an efficient and welcoming event. The bracket system was clearly explained, matches ran early, and the whole day moved with incredible flow. My son competed in both Gi and No-Gi and had a blast in both. I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with the staff before and during the tournament—any questions we had were answered fast. Brave Kids sets the standard for what youth Jiu-Jitsu tournaments should be. 

Brave Kids was an unforgettable experience for our family. Everything was so well organized, from check-in to the podium ceremony. I loved that there was a dedicated VIP area for parents—it made it so much easier to get great pictures and videos of my son’s matches. The environment was competitive but incredibly positive, and the staff treated the kids with so much kindness and encouragement. Starting with the national anthem and prayer was beautiful—it really set the tone for what felt like a celebration of the kids, not just a tournament. We'll definitely be attending every Brave event from here on out. 

Thank you Brave Kids for delivering such a memorable tournament! From start to finish, everything was on point. My daughter was so excited to be handed her lanyard and walk around with her name card—she felt like a real pro. Matches were on or ahead of schedule, which helped the day move quickly, and there was plenty of space to warm up and watch. The prayer and national anthem gave the whole event purpose. It's rare to find a tournament that gets both the logistics and the heart right—but Brave nailed it. 

As a coach and a parent, I’ve seen a lot of tournaments—and Brave Kids stands out. The structure, the respect for time, the prayer over the kids before we started—it all made a huge impression. I was blown away by how smoothly things ran. No chaos, no confusion, just kids doing what they love in a supportive, fun environment. You can tell Caio and the team put heart and hustle into this event. It felt like something special, and we’ll absolutely be back with more of our team. 

We are officially Brave Kids superfans. My son loved everything—from his custom card to the Brave lion logo and the “cool” trophies. I can’t emphasize enough how friendly and professional the staff was throughout the day. Caio made himself available for every little question, which is rare at events this size. It felt like a tight-knit community that’s truly focused on giving kids a great experience. The only downside? Now my son expects all tournaments to be this good!

The Brave team runs a tight ship. Everything from check-in to podium photos was smooth and efficient. I really appreciated the constant updates via text—it kept us in the loop all day. The venue setup made it easy to follow matches and stay close to the action, especially with the VIP area for parents. And can we talk about how refreshing it is to see an event open with a prayer over the athletes? That really moved us. This event has heart, and it shows. 

What a well-run event! This was my daughter's first tournament and she left feeling proud, supported, and already asking when the next one is. The size of the tournament was perfect—not overwhelming, but big enough to give every match meaning. I loved the family-friendly atmosphere, and the medals were high quality—my daughter actually commented on how “cool” they were, which says a lot coming from a 9-year-old. Huge thanks to the team for making her first competition a memorable one! 

The entire event felt like a celebration of the sport and the kids. I was really impressed with the professionalism and communication leading up to the event. The opening prayer and national anthem gave me goosebumps and set such a respectful, uplifting tone. Matches ran ahead of schedule, which is a miracle in this world, and my son had a blast. Even the small details, like the podium photos and medal designs, felt premium. Caio, your team nailed it. You’ve earned a loyal fanbase with this one. 

Incredible organization, thoughtful touches, and a family-first atmosphere. I loved that the mats were spaced well so I could watch comfortably, and the venue layout made everything easy to follow. Caio was available throughout the day, answering questions and ensuring things ran smoothly. I also appreciated the attention to sportsmanship—everyone, from staff to other competitors, showed genuine respect and kindness. This was our first Brave tournament, but definitely not our last! 

We’ve been to quite a few kids’ tournaments, and Brave Kids blows the others out of the water. What stood out the most was how special the kids were made to feel. My son was so excited about the unique first-place trophy and the cool Brave cards with his info on it. The VIP section allowed me to get awesome photos of his matches, and the energy in the room was electric but never chaotic. Everything ran early or right on time—how rare is that?! Huge props to Caio and the team. We’ll be back without question. 

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had at a tournament. From the moment we walked in, everything felt smooth and well thought out. My daughter absolutely loved the ID lanyard—she’s still wearing it around the house! The brackets ran ahead of schedule, and we never felt lost thanks to the constant communication via text and email. The highlight for me was the beautiful opening with the national anthem and prayer—it gave me chills and truly set the tone. Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is more than a tournament, it’s an experience we’ll remember. 

So well organized — we felt taken care of the entire day! This was Jaecel’s favorite event to date! Matches were competitive and fair, and the environment was super friendly for kids. The schedule updates and flow made it easy to plan the day without stress. Huge thanks to the Brave Kids crew for creating a space where our athletes can shine. 

We’ve done many events — this one stood out! I’ve been to a lot of tournaments with my kids, and Brave Kids is in a class of its own. Everything from the mat flow to the staff support was on point. Dakota and Atlas had a great time, and as a coach, I appreciated the fairness and communication. We’ll definitely be back! 

Top marks for professionalism and passion! Caio and the Brave staff are seriously doing something special here. Everything was organized, fair, and deeply respectful of both kids and coaches. I love how they opened the event with prayer and made sure every child felt valued. 10/10 experience. 

Everything ran like clockwork! From weigh-ins to awards, everything was incredibly well run. Logan had fun, learned a lot, and felt like a true competitor. The environment was positive and safe, and I really appreciated how easy it was for parents to track progress and support their athletes. 

Flawless experience from start to finish! We’ve been to a few tournaments, but this one felt special. The staff was professional, the brackets stayed on time, and everything was clearly communicated. My kids loved the medals and felt truly recognized for their effort. Thank you Brave Kids — we’ll be back! 

So glad we signed up — absolutely worth it! Logan came home smiling ear to ear. The Brave Kids team made sure things ran efficiently, the mat setup was easy to navigate, and the sportsmanship across teams was awesome to see. We’ve been to a few events, but this one was something special. 

The heart behind this tournament shows! I was blown away by how smooth, structured, and thoughtful this event was. You can tell the organizers genuinely care about the kids and the experience families walk away with. From check-in to podium, it was flawless. We’re already looking forward to the next one. 

An unforgettable day for our daughter! Skyler had the best time competing. The tournament ran on time, the brackets were fair, and the staff made it easy for parents to follow along. It’s refreshing to be at an event that truly puts kids first while maintaining a high level of professionalism. Thank you Brave Kids! 

Friendly, professional, and family-centered! I’ve been to a lot of events, and Brave Kids really stood out. Everything was communicated clearly, and the organizers were helpful and supportive. My kids felt encouraged, and the overall vibe was respectful and uplifting. Big win for the jiu-jitsu community!

Well-run and super inspiring for the kids! Both of my boys had a blast at Brave Kids! The event was extremely well-organized, the energy was positive, and it really made our little athletes feel like superstars. Loved the smooth flow and thoughtful touches like personalized lanyards and great medals. We’re proud to be part of this! 

A smooth day of matches with amazing energy! Avery felt like a champion from the moment we checked in. The structure of the event and how clearly everything was communicated made the day enjoyable and stress-free. Big thanks to the Brave team for delivering such a professional experience. 

Professional, friendly, and so much fun! Ethan loved every moment of his matches. Everything was well-organized, the atmosphere was uplifting, and the staff made sure parents were informed and involved. These tournaments are what youth jiu-jitsu should be about—growth, joy, and family. 

Our whole team had a fantastic time! Brave Kids continues to raise the bar. From the quality of the medals to the smooth check-in and real-time bracket updates, it was a great day of jiu-jitsu and community. Watching Kayden and Primitivo compete in such a positive environment meant the world to us. 

 "A top-notch experience!"  This was Daniel’s favorite tournament yet! The communication was excellent, and everything ran smoothly. We appreciated how the event made the kids feel important and the attention given to safety and fairness. Thank you Brave Kids and Caio! 

Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is second to none! Nathan had a blast! Every detail was well thought out—from the brackets to the venue flow. The event started on time and ran without a hitch. You can tell this tournament is run with the kids' best interests in mind. Alpine Jiu Jitsu is proud to be part of it! 

"Great tournament overall! Definitely will be returning to do more in the future. Big thank you to Malta for going above and beyond. Truly appreciated 

"My son has competed in Brave tournaments since they started coming to Las Vegas. Each and every time I find the events spot on. They are timely, orderly, managed well and fosters a culture of spirited and respectful competition. Most importantly, the kids appear to love the medals and have fun. Lastly, the owner/promoter is a black belt and savvy business man which adds credence and weight to the BJJ community."

 First time doing Brave Kids and Caio has been wonderful. He helped me walk through the process for finding the right division for my son. Everytime I called him he answered his phone and was very helpful. If you’re looking for an organized tournament check out brave kids. This is by far the most organized tournament I’ve felt with and ciao had been a great help to all the questions and concerns I have. Thank you very much brave jiu-jitsu for making this process stress -free."

 This was such a great organized event I love how it was all put together. I have been to a couple of tournaments and this one was good for kids especially if they haven’t done many it’s a great way to test the waters. I will say it was different how they had the brackets up but they went just like they were said. I like how they group kids in time brackets and when it was close to their time they had them line up and called them one at a time to group them so they could go by the mats where they with fighting. But I would maybe next time put the podiums on the other side by next because when they had kids' lineup it was kind of a busy area and didn’t want to mess up people's pictures either and hard to get around because it was one way into the fight area in one way out. I love the trophies. I had the chance to experience the VIP area and I really love the chairs by the mats so you can sit and see close-ups and great pictures chances too. My family enjoyed the music and had a great experience too. 

 I'm a first-time parent and I was feeling super overwhelmed by the competition coming up. I reached out to Caio Malta and he immediately followed up with a phone call and helped me understand every question I had. We are so pumped for this competition and we're feeling so ready to go and cheer on my son! This tournament comes highly recommended by our coaches and other competitors and I already know why. Thank you for helping a parent learn the ways of jiu-jitsu tournament life! 

 Caio ran an awesome event. As a coach with multiple competing kids having a tournament start on time and run smoothly makes all the difference in the world. I loved the lanyard with the kids' info and QR code, made weigh-ins and bullpen lineups easy.  Plus the lanyards make cool souvenirs for the kids, especially first-time competing kids I would definitely recommend the Brave jiujitsu tournament and will definitely be bringing a small army to compete at the next event. 

This tournament was well run and the people working were all helpful and kind. Caio was very helpful when addressing bracket concerns. We will definitely be competing at brave again in future tournaments. Keep up the good work!

 This is a great tournament for kids. Caio provided immediate responses to all questions I had and ensured he kept all participants (parents) informed up to the date of the tournament through email. Great opportunity for kids to get additional tournament experience! 

"From registration to submitting sensitive documents via the third service link EVERYTHING was a breeze. The end-user experience was simplistic and straightforward to get my kids set up for a competition. Having registered with other competition hosts, Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments hands down was the easiest. The automated triple check for age/weight/class emails was an awesome reminder as were the notifications for comp rules and weigh-in requirements. I had a billing problem that was handled timely and without hesitation by Brave. Can't wait for Daniel Camarillo and all the kiddos to take home the TEAM TROPHY!"

My son competed in last weekends tournament which was his second time competing in Brave BJJ Las Vegas. The heat didn't seem to stop anyone from getting on those mats and earning some medals. The founder communicates w/parents from beginning to end, keeping you informed and up to date on any info or changes and that's nice to have. My son has done lots of different tournaments, & Brave seems to be the most communicative, organized and really about the passion of the kids in the sport. Hope to see Brave BJJ as a permanent staple in Vegas.

"These tournaments that Brave jiu-jitsu puts together are well organized. These tournaments bring value to the sport and attract the attention of future competitors and that’s exactly what this sport needs.it is highly appreciated and with the upmost gratitude we thank you for these events."

"Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments are so well put together and tip-top professional, my son daydreamed of the day he would get to compete and win the first-place trophy. If you are considering signing up for a competition, you will not be disappointed. From the registration process online to the weigh-in, the whole event is hi-tech and the event staff is professional. Everyone is approachable and caring for every competitor. On competition day, the flag is saluted, the Star-Spangled Banner is sung, the whole event starts to buzz, and the adrenaline begins to overflow. Respect and Sportsmanship abound as much as cheering and encouragement. I’m comparing this competition to a Silver Gloves event and or the Junior Olympics Boxing Tournaments for similar age groups. I wish those organizations would consult with Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments and find ways to improve their events. Thank you to everyone involved and for making the Vision a reality for our kids. You all give the professors and coaches a chance to help kids refine their skills in a high-level setting and for the competitors a chance to compete and improve. We love your Tournaments." 

We've been to one Brave tournament as spectators. but our gym can't stop recommending them for our kids.  especially for my 8 year old.  This November will be his first tournament.  Caio Malta and the Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments team are awesome and dedicated to the kids not only competing fairly, but also having a great time.  They are friendly and happy to help.  And most likely, you'll hear from Caio himself!  Awesome work! 

"Love the Brave Jiu-Jitsu tournament’s great atmosphere friendly staff and owned by a Blackbelt BJJ Professor who knows the BJJ community and the art of BJJ! Not a big corporation that's only focused on making money."

"Brave is always on top of everything and always making sure every detail is covered. They get back to you in a decent time. I am really am enjoying this experience with them and thank you!"

"Brave Jiu Jitsu tournament in Lancaster was a great event. It was well put together and organized. Excited to attend more Brave tournaments!"

"It was my son's first tournament and it was a great experience. Even though he did not win, when he was finished he said he was ready to do it again. Could not ask for more. Thank you for the opportunity, the coordination that kept it going, the kindness of everyone involved and the photos for us to enjoy!"

 "I loved the attention the kids got. The staff was very friendly and paid much attention to all the little details. There were over 180 kids registered, the tournament started on time, and I heard that by 3:30 PM it was over. Impressive! The positive and encouraging energy was so amazing! Thanks Brave!"

We loved the experience and the way everything was organized. Everything amazing! We'll be back!"

"Brave BJJ doesn't only care for their participants, they also care for their parents! They bless you in so many ways. Love you Brave BJJ family!"

"Brave BJJ has been an excellent experience for my daughter. She has been in at three of your tournaments and they all have been excellent experiences."
