No-Gi IBJJF Uniform Requirements

The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) hosts some of the biggest Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournaments in the world. These tournaments include the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship, World No-Gi Championship, Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship, European Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship, and more. The no-gi uniform requirements listed below were created by the IBJJF to level the playing field as much as possible  and ensure a high level of competition.

Both genders must wear a rash guard (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 demonstrate the rank of the athlete.
