PRINCE GEORGE – The return of the annual Northern BC Combat Challenge 2026 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament has athletes from Prince George and all across the region excited for another chance to show off their skills in front of a home crowd.
“Home town, the crowd, and showing off what we love to do, is absolutely what it’s all about. And that’s why we created it, to just have the opportunity right here in town, especially for our kids. It can get expensive traveling so we want that one tournament for sure where we make it so big for them every year,” explained Kaiten MMA owner Karmjeet Manhas, as Kaiten MMA hosts and organizes the tournament.
The tournament is taking place on May 2 all day at the Northern Sport Centre, bringing fighters from communities as far away as Grande Prairie and Kamloops. Because it’s an organized Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament, there will be set matches between fighters, although Manhas says the real highlight of the Northern BC Combat Challenge is the Open Challenge. The Open Challenge allows any fighter, regardless of what MMA discipline you practice, to take on a highly skilled fighter by simply attending the tournament and issuing a challenge.
