Age Selection

The AFBJJ now calculates competitor date of births against the the 31-12-2023 (or current year minus year of birth) to align with IBJJF rules. So, a competitor born on the 12-09-2008 will therefore compete in the 15 Year Old age group. Please check https://ibjjf.com/rules/

Weight Selection

Weights in the drop down box are represented as net with the appropriate Gi or No Gi allowance included in brackets e.g. the 79kg (82.3kg) Gi weight category means a net weight under 79kg and a combined gross weight (including Gi) of under 82.3kg.
