So what happens WHEN they put Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to the Olympics? I'm going to make sure I'm at the qualifiers repping the 1 and 0! I just hope they have a NoGi division!

if it happens.... i'm pretty sure it's gonna be " in tha gi "

[Mike Dewitt Jr]

It wont, from what I understand there are a whole bunch of requirements that have to be met not just throw in a new sport.

Lets be honest.. If it works no-gi.. its going to work in the gi. Either way its looking likely that 10th planet might be repping Mercuh!

From the way I understand the process they pretty much already have all the details figured out for the next Olympics. So if they had added BJJ to the Olympics it will have already been decided. I havent heard anything about it so I doubt we'll see it. Oh well ADCC is our Olympics.

I just hope we dont all get disqualified when they drug test :/

Lol chances are slim

That's some good information bro, but the Jitz in me hopes the powers that be take this 4 long years to take a closer look at our sport and how we love it just like the Judo and TKD practitioners do. If by some chance you're right B, then ADCC will be my Olympics in 2014.

@Chronic, as far as the DT goes... Shit, this will be good to see who are the real deal and who are puffed up on the juice. ya know? Natural athleticism versus the weak ass posers.

What kind of requirements brotha? Wouldn't it be easy for them to piggyback off Judo and go from there?

This. Busted lol

Googled it: 1, it needs to have an International Federation that governs the sport, sets and enforces rules, organizes tournaments, etc.

#2, it needs to be practiced in at least 50 countries (female sports) or 75 countries (male sports)

#3, it needs to hold World Championships.

#4, it needs to be recognized by the IOC, and finally,

#5, it needs to be voted in to the games by a 2/3 majority of IOC members at the first IOC meeting following each Olympic Games.
