Organized by NEWBREED
The NEWBREED Rahway Winter Championship will take place on December 13, 2026, at the Rahway Rec Center in Rahway, NJ. This event features both gi and no-gi competitions.
Event Description
Newbreed's Winter Championship comes to New Jersey with a gi and no-gi tournament at the Rahway Recreation Center. The promotion is known for putting athlete safety first — no submissions in the Youth Group 1 (4-11) divisions — while teens and adults compete in belt-based gi brackets and no-gi divisions split by experience level. Any gi color is permitted, and there's no outside federation card required to step on the mat. The championship runs December 13, 2026 at 275 E Milton Ave in Rahway. It's built for a wide range of competitors, from first-time kids to experienced adult black belts, and registration is handled through Newbreed's Smoothcomp listing on Let's Roll. The window closes the Tuesday before the event, with a final cutoff at 5pm the day before — so don't wait until the last minute.
