December 12, 2026.
Each year, The Good Fight hosts Sub-Only Worlds -- bringing together serious jiu-jitsu competitors from all ages and ranks. Your students get to compete against athletes from different areas and different academies they wouldn't ordinarily face. This is the proving ground for the whole year.
01
Qualified Competitors Compete Free.
Any competitor who wins 1st place in their bracket at a Good Fight qualifier earns a free entry to Sub-Only Worlds that year. They earned it on the mat -- it's theirs.
02
Open to All Competitors.
Registration is open to any competitor who wants to enter -- from any academy, any grappling style. Everyone is competing for the same title: Sub-Only Worlds Champion.
03
The Best Teams Show Up.
Every academy that wins the 1st Place Team Champion Award at a Good Fight qualifier earns a free entry for their entire team. The competition at Worlds reflects that standard.
