Judo competition is pretty sweet but my main martial art is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After getting a black belt in BJJ would I be able to compete in advanced Judo competitions?|||It depends on the tournament. All Judo ranks are awarded by National Organizations in conjunction with your head instructor. These organizations (USJA, USJF, and USA Judo) all give you a membership card that has your rank on it, and these ranks are used to determine if you are allowed to compete in advanced level competitions. Further, all tournaments that I%26#039;ve been to require all competitors to be members of one of the three organizations for insurance purposes.
If I were you, I would take Judo concurrently with your BJJ classes. That way, you won%26#039;t earn your BJJ black belt then have to fight white belts in Judo, where many of your submissions from BJJ, especially your armbars, would be illegal.|||yes i am a judo teacher
