Jiu-Jitsu Tournament Uniform Regulations

Jiu-Jitsu tournaments that require a gi or kimono may have many rules regarding the uniform. Showing up in a non-regulation uniform can result in disqualification. IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) seems to have the strictest rules. IBJJF rules include, but are not limited to:


- Gi must be constructed of cotton or cotton-like fabric and in good condition. IE: No torn kimonos allowed
- Gi must be of uniform color in black, white, or royal blue. No mismatched pant and top color combinations, or collars with a different color from the rest of the top
- The gi top should reach the thighs, and sleeves must reach within 5 cm of the wrist with arms extended straight parallel to the ground. Gi pants should reach no more than 5 cm above the ankle bone
- Belt width 4-5 centimeters, in the color of the athlete's current rank, and tied around the waist in a double knot, tight enough to keep the jacket closed. Once tied, each end of the belt should hang 20-30 cm in length
- No clothing is allowed under the jacket top (rash guards, t-shirts, etc.), except for in the female divisions. No pants of any kind under the gi pants
- Patches are allowed on the gi only in the marked areas below

 




IBJJF No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu tournaments require that competitors wear A) black board shorts and B) a black or white rash guard with at least 10% of the fabric in the color according to the competitor's current belt rank. Shirts that are 100% the color of the rank are also acceptable. Examples:
