GOOD FIGHT: OH Championships
Organized by Good Fight
Dayton hosts the Good Fight Ohio Championships on October 24, 2026. The statewide tournament runs gi and no-gi divisions for all belts, drawing competitors from across Ohio.
Event Description
Good Fight bills itself as the original submission-only jiu-jitsu tournament -- no points, no advantages, no referee decisions, just a finish or the mat decides. The OH Championships bring that format to Dayton with divisions for kids, teens, and adults across all belts, in both gi and no-gi, with match times scaled by belt level (white belts get 6 minutes, blue 8, purple/brown/black 10) and a guarantee of at least two matches per competitor. The event runs October 24, 2026 in Dayton, OH. It's built for competitors of every experience level, from first-time kids competitors to seasoned adult black belts looking for a straightforward submission-only test. Registration is handled through Good Fight's Smoothcomp event page, linked on Let's Roll.

About Good Fight
The Good Fight is a submission-only BJJ tournament circuit started in 2008, running gi and no-gi divisions for kids, teens, and adults of all belt levels under a straightforward sub-only ruleset — no points, no advantages — with a two-match-per-division guarantee. Events run mainly across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic US, culminating annually in a Sub-Only Worlds.
Rules
Good Fight tournaments are submission-only: no points, no advantages, and no referee decisions. Matches are won by submission, and matches that end without one are resolved through the event's overtime procedures rather than a judge's call — their motto is "the mat decides."
Events offer gi and no-gi divisions for kids, teens, and adults across belt levels. One notable safety rule: any competitor rendered unconscious during a match is withdrawn from competition for the rest of the day. Check the current Good Fight rulebook for division-specific rules, including the separate novice and kids rule sets.
Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
