If you have any questions, please ask for clarification.  Failure to follow these guidelines may prohibit your ability to compete under Mercy Jiu Jitsu/Wise Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the future.

• You must get approval before competing under the MJJ/Wise BJJ name.
• Our competition affiliation will be under “Wise Bjj”.
• You must communicate any upcoming competitions to the head coaches prior to competing.
• It is your responsibility to understand the organization's rule set.  You must perform within the rules of the competition.

• Always bow onto the mats coming and going.
• Always bow towards and/or shake the hand of your opponent before and after a match.
