What Are The ADCC Trials?
The ADCC Trials have grown to be recognized as some of the biggest, most challenging and most prestigious no gi grappling events in the world and, in many cases, an important stepping stone for those hoping to become world champions.
Each event features top-tier talent, and winners must endure a long weekend of grappling with the most elite athletes on the planet.
At the same time, while winning does guarantee a spot at ADCC Worlds, every moment and performance along the way, win or lose, is an opportunity for the grapplers to show the other athletes, judges and ADCC what they’re made of and even how far they’ve progressed since a previous appearance.
