but its still legal for me in the mens division right?
WTF? that has to be the dumbest fucking rule I've ever heard.
girls don't go commando when they roll?
What about birthday suit undergarments? Can't they go commando?
That rule is most likely there for the same reason I always make sure I'm wearing clean underwear when I'm rolling in the gi. When the pants' waistband is used as a grip, your underwear is very likely to see the light of day. If a women is wearing a thong, it may be deemed inappropriate in a tournament setting. Kind of ironic that the same culture invented the brazilian wax ;)
....great minds, Rivello, great minds....
Exactly what I needed to start the work day!
I've rolled with guys that apparently dirty underwear, or some sort of funk, was a weapon in their arsenal. It made me reconsider certain passes and/or positions.
I’m curious what their method of checking and enforcing this rule is and how do you get assigned to that position? :confused:
You guys don't remember when Cooper got DQ'ed for being commando in like the semifinals of Worlds?
What if they get or give themselves a super wedgie and it looks like they are wearing a thong. Possible loophole?
You can be DQd for the type of under garments you do or don't wear? Huh.
So how exactly are they checking if they're wearing a thong or not? And how do I get that job?
So glad the ibjjf means so little here in UK. So many morons.
So they cannot wear the shorts type, they MUST be briefs? Wow. Seems like IBJJF has enough obscure ridiculous rules at hand that at anytime, if they don't like you, they can find SOMETHING to DQ you with.
Alright guys I'll take one for the team. I volunteer to be the official panty checker for the IBJJF.
this upsets me. 'Merica. Fuck yea.
Wait.... So you're saying I would have to wear underwear under my underwear?
I too roll no-gi with compression fit leggings. If this is true, it's the most absurd rule I've heard yet. It wouldn't change my game at all to just not wear the leggings, but mentally it might be a little different.
