Registration has closed for the ADCC Asia & Oceania Trials, and there are several notable names mixed with a strong group of dark horses who will all be vying for their entry into the 2024 ADCC World Championships. After the recent success of Asian Trials winners like Lachlan Giles and Craig Jones, these are quickly becoming a proving ground for elite grapplers from the region to make their name.

You are eligible to compete in these trials if you have citizenship in any country that falls within the Asian or Oceanic regions, and can provide documentation at weigh ins. There are only qualification spots in place for the men's divisions, and women's qualifiers will be on the line at the second continental trials.

The tournament will take place Nov. 25, 2023 in Singapore. All of the action will be streaming live on FloGrappling.

So far, 10 men have earned official entry into the ADCC World Championships through the Trials process. You can find that list here.
