The Pacific Northwest's Premier Submission Only  Grappling Tournament

It’s quite common for an idea to spring up that brings forth a new surge of excitement inside the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu community.

Setting in motion a new trend in his region of Washington with the establishment known as the ”Chess On The Mat" BJJ Submission Championships creator Michael Proctor hopes to give practitioners a new experience in competing that all those training in the Northwest will certainly benefit from.

BJJ Legends got the opportunity to speak with Proctor as he touches on his journey as a grappler into creating the event and exclusive details on what makes this tournament one of its kind.

I’m currently the Head Instructor at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of Tacoma.
