"Amazing experience. Very organized and communicates promptly. My boys love participating in their tournaments."

 "Great experience. Easy sign-up. It was my daughter's first tournament and it was well organized. A huge bonus was there was worship music playing in a competitive environment."

"Brave Kids is a breath of fresh air in the Jiu-Jitsu world. The event was intimate enough to feel personal, but big enough to give kids meaningful matches and podium moments. My son competed in both Gi and No-Gi and had the time of his life. From the moment we walked in, everything felt dialed in—staff knew what they were doing, and every step of the process was seamless. I especially appreciated the prayer before matches started—it grounded the whole event in something bigger than just medals. We’ll be Brave regulars from here on out!"

"This tournament was top-tier from start to finish. I’ve seen a lot of chaos at youth Jiu-Jitsu events, but Brave Kids ran like a well-oiled machine. We got clear texts, fast weigh-ins, and a bracket system that actually worked. What really stuck with me was the atmosphere—it was uplifting, family-oriented, and full of joy. Our daughter was matched fairly, had plenty of mat time, and left feeling proud of herself. Thank you, Caio and team, for running a tournament that puts the kids first and still keeps things professional. We’re hooked."

 "My favorite part about the Brave tournament is the prayer before it begins and the worship music played throughout the competition. What a blessing to see our athletes glorifying God with like-minded competitors, well done Brave!"

"Great experience! My girls absolutely loved competing. Great people nice clean environment. We can’t wait for the next tournament!"

"This was such a great organized event I love how it was all put together. I have been to a couple of tournaments and this one was good for kids especially if they haven’t done many it’s a great way to test the waters. I will say it was different how they had the brackets up but they went just like they were said. I like how they group kids in time brackets and when it was close to their time they had them line up and called them one at a time to group them so they could go by the mats where they with fighting. But I would maybe next time put the podiums on the other side by next because when they had kids' lineup it was kind of a busy area and didn’t want to mess up people's pictures either and hard to get around because it was one way into the fight area in one way out. I love the trophies. I had the chance to experience the VIP area and I really love the chairs by the mats so you can sit and see close-ups and great pictures chances too. My family enjoyed the music and had a great experience too."

"I'm a first-time parent and I was feeling super overwhelmed by the competition coming up. I reached out to Caio Malta and he immediately followed up with a phone call and helped me understand every question I had. We are so pumped for this competition and we're feeling so ready to go and cheer on my son! This tournament comes highly recommended by our coaches and other competitors and I already know why. Thank you for helping a parent learn the ways of jiu-jitsu tournament life!"

"Caio ran an awesome event. As a coach with multiple competing kids having a tournament start on time and run smoothly makes all the difference in the world. I loved the lanyard with the kids' info and QR code, made weigh-ins and bullpen lineups easy.  Plus the lanyards make cool souvenirs for the kids, especially first-time competing kids I would definitely recommend the Brave jiujitsu tournament and will definitely be bringing a small army to compete at the next event."

"The Brave Kids tournament exceeded all of our expectations. The team clearly puts a lot of love into what they do, and it shows in every part of the event. The brackets were fair, matches started early, and the volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. My son loved the energy of the day and especially the podium photos—which looked amazing, by the way. I appreciated the spiritual tone and the focus on community over competition. We'll absolutely be returning and bringing more teammates with us next time. This is how kids’ Jiu-Jitsu should feel."

" This is a great tournament for kids. Caio provided immediate responses to all questions I had and ensured he kept all participants (parents) informed up to the date of the tournament through email. Great opportunity for kids to get additional tournament experience!"

"My son has competed in BRAVE tournaments since they started coming to Las Vegas. Each and every time I find the events spot on. They are timely, orderly, and managed well and foster a culture of spirited and respectful competition. Most importantly, the kids appear to love the medals and have fun. Lastly, the owner/promoter is a black belt and savvy businessman which adds credence and weight to the BJJ community."

"From registration to submitting sensitive documents via the third service link EVERYTHING was a breeze. The end-user experience was simplistic and straightforward to get my kids set up for a competition. Having registered with other competition hosts, Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments hands down was the easiest. The automated triple check for age/weight/class emails was an awesome reminder as were the notifications for comp rules and weigh-in requirements. I had a billing problem that was handled timely and without hesitation by Brave. Can't wait for Daniel Camarillo and all the kiddos to take home the TEAM TROPHY!"

"My son competed in last weekends tournament which was his second time competing in Brave BJJ Las Vegas. The heat didn't seem to stop anyone from getting on those mats and earning some medals. The founder communicates w/parents from beginning to end, keeping you informed and up to date on any info or changes and that's nice to have. My son has done lots of different tournaments, & Brave seems to be the most communicative, organized and really about the passion of the kids in the sport. Hope to see Brave BJJ as a permanent staple in Vegas."

Let me just say—Brave Kids gets it right. We’ve done local comps, big-name comps, and everything in between. But nothing has felt as warm, professional, and well-run as this tournament. It was clear from the start that this wasn’t just about medals. It was about giving kids an experience they’d remember, and making parents feel part of it too. The VIP area was such a thoughtful touch—finally, a place where we could film without ten heads in front of us! My son was in one of the larger brackets, and it still ran beautifully. The digital screens kept everything updated, the refs were kind and engaged, and the event staff had a positive attitude all day long (even when things got hectic). I especially appreciated the attention to detail—custom cards for the kids, motivational signage, clean mats, and an organized podium photo setup. Also? The energy during the prayer and anthem at the beginning gave me goosebumps. In a sport where ego sometimes creeps in, Brave Kids was a reminder of what it’s really about: courage, faith, and family. Thank you for creating a space where our kids can grow—not just as athletes, but as humans."

"Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments are so well put together and tip-top professional, my son daydreamed of the day he would get to compete and win the first-place trophy. If you are considering signing up for a competition, you will not be disappointed. From the registration process online to the weigh-in, the whole event is hi-tech and the event staff is professional. Everyone is approachable and caring for every competitor. On competition day, the flag is saluted, the Star-Spangled Banner is sung, the whole event starts to buzz, and the adrenaline begins to overflow. Respect and Sportsmanship abound as much as cheering and encouragement. I’m comparing this competition to a Silver Gloves event and or the Junior Olympics Boxing Tournaments for similar age groups. I wish those organizations would consult with Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments and find ways to improve their events. Thank you to everyone involved and for making the Vision a reality for our kids. You all give the professors and coaches a chance to help kids refine their skills in a high-level setting and for the competitors a chance to compete and improve. We love your Tournaments." 

"We've been to one Brave tournament as spectators. but our gym can't stop recommending them for our kids.  especially for my 8 year old.  This November will be his first tournament.  Caio Malta and the Brave Jiu-Jitsu Tournaments team are awesome and dedicated to the kids not only competing fairly, but also having a great time.  They are friendly and happy to help.  And most likely, you'll hear from Caio himself!  Awesome work! 

"We’ve been to many kids’ tournaments, and Brave Kids truly stood out in terms of professionalism and purpose. My son Derek had a tough bracket, but the experience overall was top tier. The staff was approachable, and Caio made himself available throughout the day to help with any concerns. Even though we had a match that felt unfair, the transparency and follow-up gave us peace of mind. The medals were gorgeous, the venue was clean, and the pacing of the event made for a smooth experience. We’ll be watching for the next one and showing up ready!"

"Brave is always on top of everything and always making sure every detail is covered. They get back to you in a decent time. I am really am enjoying this experience with them and thank you!"

We drove in from Temecula for this event and let me say—it was worth every mile. I’ve coached youth sports for over a decade, and Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most impressive events I’ve seen in terms of logistics, energy, and professionalism. The venue was perfect—not too big or too cramped—and the flow of the tournament was surprisingly seamless. Every bracket my team competed in ran early or on time. For those of us used to waiting hours at other comps, that alone was a win. I appreciated how Brave balances structure with heart. It’s clear that Caio and his team care deeply about the athletes. From the moment of prayer at the start to the way they guided first-time competitors through the warm-up and weigh-in process, it felt like we were being taken care of—not just processed. The medals were beautiful, the Brave gear looked awesome (please drop more merch soon!), and the sense of community was real. I saw coaches from different teams encouraging each other’s kids and staff high-fiving little ones whether they won or lost. This is the kind of event that keeps families engaged in Jiu-Jitsu for the long haul. Bravo, Brave Kids. You’re building something truly special."

"It was my son's first tournament and it was a great experience. Even though he did not win, when he was finished he said he was ready to do it again. Could not ask for more. Thank you for the opportunity, the coordination that kept it going, the kindness of everyone involved and the photos for us to enjoy!"

 "I loved the attention the kids got. The staff was very friendly and paid much attention to all the little details. There were over 180 kids registered, the tournament started on time, and I heard that by 3:30 PM it was over. Impressive! The positive and encouraging energy was so amazing! Thanks Brave!"

"Brave Kids was our first tournament experience, and I honestly can’t imagine a better introduction to the competition scene. I was nervous—worried about how chaotic it would be, if my daughter would get matched fairly, if we’d know where to go and when. But those fears vanished the moment we walked in. Staff greeted us with smiles, the check-in was quick, and my daughter was given a lanyard with her ID card which she immediately treasured like a medal. Everything ran smoothly—our matches were actually ahead of schedule, and the tournament never felt like it dragged. The volunteers were helpful and approachable, and when we had questions, Caio himself took the time to help us out. The space was clean, well laid out, and even had a great podium area for pictures. But most importantly: the vibe. This wasn’t just another sports event—it was a day filled with purpose, family, and joy. My daughter didn’t win her bracket, but she walked out with a smile and told me it was one of the best days of her life. That means more to me than gold. Brave Kids isn’t just a tournament—it’s a memory maker."

"Brave BJJ doesn't only care for their participants, they also care for their parents! They bless you in so many ways. Love you Brave BJJ family!"

"We’ve participated in several tournaments across the West Coast, and Brave Kids Jiu-Jitsu is the one that left the strongest impression—by far. From the moment we walked into the venue, everything felt intentional, welcoming, and organized. My son was thrilled just to receive his Brave lanyard with his info card—something so simple, but it made him feel important and seen. As a mom, I noticed the little things: the friendly staff at the door, the volunteers helping kids navigate the brackets, and the DJ playing music that kept the energy fun but never overwhelming. What truly stood out to me was how the tournament opened—with the national anthem and a prayer. That moment was powerful. It reminded all of us that this is bigger than sport—it’s about values, unity, and community. The brackets ran ahead of schedule (a miracle!), and the VIP seating gave us an unobstructed view of our son's matches, allowing us to record and cheer him on from close. The medals were beautifully crafted, the podium photos looked professional, and the vibe throughout the day was simply joyful. Thank you, Brave Kids. You’ve earned our family’s loyalty."
