What is LUSS XVI?

The London University Submission Showdown is back for its 16th edition and its 2nd year, hosted by Goldsmiths MMA Society. This is London's biggest inter-varsity No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament, bringing together university competitors from across Greater London and beyond to compete on the mats for medals, trophies, and serious bragging rights.

If you have never watched live BJJ before, prepare to be hooked. Fast, technical, physical, and electric, there is nothing quite like watching two grapplers battle it out on the mat in front of a live crowd.

Live BJJ Matches All Day Watch university competitors go head to head across multiple weight classes and experience divisions in a Round Robin format. Every competitor fights multiple times, meaning you get action from start to finish.

Novice Division Cheer on first-time competitors stepping onto the mat for the very first time in their grappling journey. Raw, exciting, and full of heart.

Intermediate Division Watch more experienced grapplers battle it out with sharper technique, slicker submissions, and higher intensity matches.

Great Atmosphere

This is a university event run by students for students. Expect a loud, passionate, and welcoming crowd. Whether you know BJJ or have never seen it before, you will leave having had a great time.
