Gorilla Cup Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament

The Gorilla Cup is an in-house Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament held at Straight Blast Gym Buford.

Twice per year Straight Blast Gym Buford hosts the Gorilla Cup, a Saturday morning Jiu Jitsu tournament that is only open to Straight Blast Gym athletes.  Medals are awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers. The entire event takes 3-4 hours, from start to finish. That is incredibly quick for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament!

 

The Gorilla Cup is a fantastic opportunity for kid and adult jiu jitsu athletes to be able to compete in their sport, at a fraction of the price it costs to go to a large tournament.  Sometimes, local jiu jitsu events will be an hour or more away. When you arrive, you may compete in an hour or you may have to wait 4-5 hours. When it’s all over, you’ll have another hour + drive to get back home.

 

 

The Gorilla Cup offers the following:

• A low entry fee

• Brackets that are designed to be fair and as even as possible

• At least 2 guaranteed match-ups

• A competition that doesn’t take up your whole day

• A low-stress environment to compete and earn medals

• A fantastic opportunity for the whole family to come out and watch their kid/husband/wife/mom/dad compete

We have seen tremendous success with the Gorilla Cup, not only with the kids, but for adults who are newer to the sport.  Competing can bring on a lot of anxiety. The Gorilla Cup creates a real-life tournament environment in a safe place where our jiu jitsu athletes feel comfortable.
