    do guys from the same club compete against each other in bjj competitions?
    just to take for example the upcoming irish open or glapplepolooza, it two guys from the same club are in the semi's or final do they compete against each other?

    Yes they compete against eachother sometimes. Obviously people would prefer to not have to do this, but because the pool of competitors in this country is so small( especially in the higher divisions) it happens quite often.

    Generally yes, as the organisers generally sort the divisions so that team mates meet as late as possible in the bracket.

    Some people won't compete against a team mate but that's disgraceful, IMO.

    Say for example there was only 2 in the division, both my guys, I would leave it up to them as whether to compete or go see if they could move up a division, my preference being for the move-up. If they couldn't, and they didn't want to do that I would understand completely.

    But if they'd both fought to a final or semi I'd expect them to compete as best they could.

    I'm the same with Judo, I don't care who I compete against, its a fight and we can be team mates again in five minutes.

    I seen a guy give two team mates a pass to get an easy Judo grading recently, I went ballistic over it. Lost all respect for all three and have since ceased training in the club, that crap really sticks in my throat.

    OP if fighting a team mate is something your worried about all I can say is be cool about it.

    I've never seen hard feelings between team mates after a win or loss once the fight has been clean.
