Competition Training
Built for the podium. Open to all.
At Black Flag Jiu-Jitsu, our competition training program isn’t just for elite athletes — it’s for anyone ready to train with focus, intensity, and purpose. Whether you’re chasing medals or just looking to sharpen your skills in a faster-paced room, this is where you go to test yourself and grow.
We are a proud affiliate of Pedigo Submission Fighting (PSF), one of the most respected and successful jiu-jitsu teams in America. That means our approach to competition isn’t guesswork — it’s battle-tested. You’ll train in a system designed for success at every level, from local tournaments to international stages.
Located in Rockford, Illinois, Black Flag Jiu-Jitsu has become a destination for driven grapplers throughout the region. Our comp room is welcoming, intense, and built on the belief that your effort is what earns your results — not your rank or your past.
Competition Training
Train in a Proven System
Our competition classes are structured with intention. We model our training after the methods used by PSF to produce world-class results, but we make sure the format remains accessible to anyone who wants to improve.
Classes feature focused positional rounds, high-paced situational drills, and live training that simulates match conditions. Students receive consistent feedback from experienced coaches who have competed, and coached, at the highest levels.
Even if you’re not actively competing, you’ll benefit from training in a room that values precision, pace, and performance. We believe everyone can benefit from a competition mindset, and that mindset shows up in every class we run.
Competition Training
Who This Is For
This program is open to any student who wants to test themselves in a more demanding environment. You don’t have to be on the podium to be in the room. You just have to be willing to work.
Our competition program is ideal for:
Active competitors preparing for IBJJF, ADCC, Fuji, and local tournaments
Hobbyist grapplers seeking faster development and deeper rounds
Teen athletes and adults who want to explore the next level of their training
Visitors from other academies who want new looks and intense rounds before their next event
If you’re training for an upcoming event and need a serious room with structure, intensity, and teammates who push you the right way, you’ll find that here.
