Event Description
Newbreed's Rhode Island Fall Championship runs the promotion's full gi and no-gi program, with Youth Group 1 (4-11, no submissions for safety) and Group 2 (12-17) divisions, no-gi adults grouped by experience level, and gi competitors entering by current belt. No external federation membership is required, which keeps the barrier to entry low for first-time competitors.

Rules
NEWBREED runs a long-established tournament circuit (including its Ultimate Challenge events) with gi and no-gi divisions for kids and adults, grouped by age, weight, and experience level. It's a high-volume regional circuit that many competitors use for regular local competition.
NEWBREED publishes its own rulebook with an explicit emphasis on athlete safety, and technique legality scales with age and division level. Read the current NJJF rules before competing — division structures and legal techniques are spelled out there.
Always confirm the official rulebook before you compete — organizations update rules between seasons. See the official event page for current rules.
