Our Story

Led by a team of artists with a passion for Jiu-Jitsu, AVA Submission Grappling was founded in 2017 as a local in-house tournament in Vancouver, British Columbia. Built on a submission-only, round-robin format, it has since evolved into a nationwide Canadian league.

AVA’s ruleset rewards submissions and minimizes stalling, refining the EBI Overtime and incorporates a seasonal ranking structure, with points accumulating through each year. These events lead to two major events: Ultra, the season finale, and Throne, an exclusive invitational.

All of the events have a distinct theme, showcased through the design of medals, belts, and awards, making this one of the unique hallmarks of AVA.

 In addition to hosting events, AVA has expanded to include a merchandise shop offering a range of gear and apparel.
