Two formats.
One world standard.
Gi & No-Gi jiu-jitsu under ICO international rules. Win on Points — advance, dominate, finish — or step into Submission-Only with submissions and the event’s overtime rules. Kids, teens and adults, worldwide.
The mat
From white belt kids to world-class black belts.
One international rulebook for every age and every gender. Unified technique standards, trusted referees, and a mat that looks the same in France as it does in the USA.
