SJJIF Ranking is how the SJJIF ranks the top nation in the sport and must follow the following guidelines:
The SJJIF World Jiu-Jitsu Championship is the final competition for SJJIF rankings.
National Ranking is based on the accumulation of all Gold, Silver and Bronze medals earned by all competitors representing that particular country in all SJJIF sanctioned tournaments during the period of one SJJIF competition year.
Points from divisions where only one athlete is signed up will not count toward country ranking.
The mission of the SJJIF is to unify and organize existing Sport Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Jiu-Jitsu national and/or territorial federations that share the vision of reaching Olympic greatness while preserving the unique history, culture, philosophy, and lineage of our sport.
The SJJIF believes that together, the SJJIF with its National Federations and members, will continue to develop the growing network of likeminded members who envision greater opportunities for our athletes and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as we believe that our athletes deserve an equal right to Olympic greatness!
Together, we will prove that we are a stand-alone sport and gain recognition and admittance into the Olympic program as a competition event of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Deaflympics and in all other games of the Olympic cycle.
