About The Sport

Jiu jitsu is the science and art of control that leads to submission

MALDIVES JIU JITSU ASSOCIATION

Explanation to JIU JITSU​

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a modification of Jiu-Jitsu and focuses on the transition from standing to ground and ground fighting. Training and competitions can take place in a Gi or without a Gi in sports pants and shirt (No-Gi).

The fight of two opponents starts standing. Punches and kicks are not allowed. After starting the fight, the referee only interrupts during critical moments. Normally, the main part of the fight takes place on the ground. The goal is to win by submission with a lock on the joints or strangulation, or by points. During the time of six minutes, it is possible to gain points for throws, takedowns, controlling positions and certain actions that give an advantage in the progression of the fight.

Weight Categories:

Male: -56kg, -62 kg, -69kg, -77kg, -85kg, -94kg, +94kg
Female: -45kg; -48kg; -52kg; -57kg; -63kg; -70kg; +70kg

Duo System

The Duo System is a discipline in which a pair of jutsukas from the same team show possible self-defense techniques against a series of 12 attacks. The Duo System has three competition categories: male, female, or mixed, and the athletes are judged for their speed, accuracy, control, and realism. It is arguably the most spectacular form of ju-jitsu competition and it requires great technical preparation, synchronism, and elevated athletic qualities.


The scores are given from 0 to 10 (1/2 number interval) by five judges. Three scores get counted cause the highest and the lowest scores are taken away to avoid mistakes.


This competition is even attractive for people not involved in martial arts. Fast and spectacular actions are shown. Precise kicks and punches, dynamic throwing techniques and powerful locks are performed by the contestants.

Fighting System

With a different approach, the Fighting System is articulated in three-minute combats between athletes from opposing teams. The system is divided into 14 categories according to weight and sex (Male categories: -56kg, -62 kg, -69kg, -77kg, -85kg, -94kg, +94kg; Female categories -45kg; -48kg; -52kg; -57kg; -63kg; -70kg; +70kg).

The actual combat is divided into three parts: Part I sees the Jutsukas involved in distance combat and controlled attacks with arms and legs. Once a grab has been made, the fight enters Part II and hits are no longer allowed. The Jutsukas try to bring one another down with various throwing techniques. Points are given according to how ‘clean’ and effective the actions are judged.

Once down on the tatamis (mats), the match enters its Part III. Here points are given for immobilization techniques, controlled strangulations, or levers on body joints that bring the opponent to yield. The winner is the Jutsuka who has accumulated the most points during the fight or the one who performed a “perfect technique” in all three parts, winning by Ippon. In this case, the fight will end before the time runs out. This type of competition requires timing, agility, strength, and endurance.
