New IBJJF Bullshit!

[Sam Bergeron]

They might actually end up making less money with that rule considering how many people it's going to deter from going to their tournaments. idiots.

Oh, your a black belt? Well then you owe me 400 dollars.

Very interesting. Are 10th Planet Black Belts going to be recognized under the IBJJF so they can comepete in the No-Gi Worlds?

This is my question too.

I wonder the same thing. They will if JJ Machado signs off on their Membership Apps or Eddie would have to register with the IBJJF and get certified and that cost is $400. It's all in Chapter 4 of their grading guidelines. It's such BS! I was planning on competing a lot this year. Especially with all the Open's that they have scheduled all over the country, but now, that looks very dismal!

[ian quinto]

how does the ibjjf justify charging $400? i would really like to know.

Yay for Naga and GQ!

NAGA's the real deal; point system and rules are as action-oriented as it gets. Speaking of which, WAR 10th Planet Phoenix @ NAGA this wknd!

Are there any major differences in Naga Novice and GQ Novice division rules?

[Jason Mallory]

I wonder if the new rules are meant to keep competitiors like Josh Barnett, who won the No-Gi Words, out of the tournament.
