No-Gi Grappling at WWB Events
In the sport of no-gi grappling, also known as no-gi jiu jitsu, there are many exciting competition rule sets. For grappling tournaments organized by WWB, we use one of two rule sets, depending on the event.
Rules for Sin City Classic
We use the WWB Unified Grappling Rules for local tournaments in the United States (e.g., Lorefice Grappling Tournament at the Sin City Classic). These rules are inspired by common local jiu-jitsu tournament rules, modified to better fit the goals and demographics of the athletes who attend our grappling events.
Rules for Gay Games
We use the United World Wrestling (UWW) rules for international tournaments, the grappling tournament at the Gay Games every four years. This rule set is more wrestling-forward than our WWB rules, with a few modifications to promote safety and and inclusion of grapplers of all experience levels.
