Watch the Announcement

If you're competing in a Jiu Jitsu tournament ran by the IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation), you'll need a competition uniform that meets their strict requirements.

Before we go any further, I want to drive home the number one rule of competing at an IBJJF event: always bring a backup uniform of a different style.

IBJJF uniform inspectors have a hard job, and the results of their assessments can be... well, subjective. For example technically our Aeroweave Gi is no longer IBJJF legal because it's too light, but I still see people competing in it all the time. And on the other side of things, I've seen uniforms rejected that sure look to me like they meet all IBJJF requirements.

So again, we do our absolute best to make our IBJJF legal gear with all requirements in mind, but I would highly recommend bringing a backup. For example if you plan on wearing a Camo Rash Guard, bring a Foundation Rash Guard as well just in case.

Our Camo Rash Guard is a great example - we designed it to meet all IBJJF No-Gi Uniform requirements, and I've seen it worn in competition dozens of times.

But I also heard from one customer who said their uniform inspector rejected it due to the pattern 🤷‍♂️

I can't stress this enough, as someone who has both competed in IBJJF events and helped hundreds of customers do so, bring a back-up uniform.

What are the IBJJF No-Gi Uniform Requirements?

When it comes to no-gi gear, the IBJJF uniform requirements can be broken down into two areas:

Rash Guards: "Both genders must wear a shirt of elastic material (skin tight) long enough to cover the torso all the way to the waistband of the shorts, colored black, white, or black and white, and with at least 10% of the rank color(belt) to which the athlete belongs. Shirts 100% the color of the athlete’s rank (belt) are also permitted. For black belts a small red area will be tolerated, but must not decharacterize the athlete’s rank color."
Shorts: "Board shorts colored black, white, black and white, and/or the color of the rank (belt) to which the athlete belongs, without pockets or with the pockets stitched completely shut, without buttons, exposed drawstrings, zippers or any form of plastic or metal that could present a risk to the opponent, long enough to cover at least halfway down the thigh, and no longer than the knee. Also permitted are compression shorts made of elastic material (skin tight) worn beneath the shorts, in the colors black, white, black and white, and/or the color of the rank (belt) to which the athlete belongs."

Women are allowed to compete in either shorts, or just in compression shorts or spats.

the tl;dr is to wear a rash guard (short or long sleeve) that matches your belt rank, zipperless/pocketless shorts that are either white or black, and full length spats are optional but allowed.
