Introducing The World’s First Ever Online Grappling Techniques Demonstration Tournament

Introducing The World’s First Ever Online Grappling Techniques Demonstration Tournament

The International Grappling Federation has a new concept for 2021: an online No Gi BJJ tournament focused on Grappling demonstrations!

Participants are required to perform three demonstrations of the grappling technique:

  1. Start from a standing posture, perform a throwing move and end with a painful action of the arm;
  2. Start from a standing posture, perform a throwing move and end with a painful leg action;
  3. Start from a standing posture, perform a throwing move and end with a choking action.

The technique must be demonstrated in a pair.

Each participant has to film how he/she performs the grappling technique. The video containing the filmed demonstration of the technique has to be uploaded on his/her Facebook account under the title “International Grappling Tournament”. 

After publishing the link on Facebook, he/she must send it to e-mail: igf.dankyu@gmail.com

Each participant can upload only one video and it must include all three demonstrations of the technique. When submitting his/her video by email, each participant must note his/her name, age and the club that he/she represents.

By participating in the International Grappling NOGI Technique Demonstration Tournament, the person agrees that his / her image will be shown, published, commented and presented to the general public. The participant confirms that he/she is healthy and takes responsibility for his own safety and health, and that he/she will not make any claims against the organizers.

Here is an example of the demonstration in Gi format:
