Annual reminder regarding the IBJJF

The IBJJF is not a governing body for Jiu-Jitsu. It is a for-profit company led by Carlos Gracie Jr. The judging, organizing and any other grievance you have with them is mainly down to the fact that they don't pay their referees (lunch doesn't count) and overall are designed to take money out of your pocket (see annual renewal fee).

Vote with your wallet and leave. The IBJJF is every bit as bad as flograppling.
