We understand the frustration about the no refund policy. For an organizer it is a big risk to organize a tournament, all income is needed for this day. There will always be dozens of cancellations. If we have to take this into account, it will not be possible to organize a tournament again. We hope that it is also understandable from our side. 5 competitors: 1 coach, 10 competitors: 2 coaches, 15 competitors: 3 coaches, with a maximum of 8 coaches. Each coach will get a keycord with badge, only one coach is allowed to walk to the mats with the athlete. Please note: we can also confiscate the badge in case of improper/bad behavior. Visitors are welcome, €5,- entrance fee in cash. **Status:** Scheduled ## Dates **Start:** July 04, 2026 ## Location **Venue:** Maaspoort **Location:** 's-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, Netherlands ## Pricing **Price Range:** €30 – €60 ## Links - Source: https://bjjfnl.smoothcomp.com/en/event/28826 - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bjjdutchopen/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BJJDutchOpen/ ## Tags No-Gi --- **Last Updated:** March 06, 2026 **Data Source:** BJJ.Space (https://bjj.space/events/bjj-dutch-open-2026-no-gi)
