Do they use cbjj rules and regulations or just rules?
I have worked for some big tournaments stateside that use cbjj rules, but have never seen the color rule inforced outside of the federation tournaments.
outside of mundial, pan am, us nationals and euro's i have never seen a tourney strongly enforce these regulations.
they use the rule scheme and recommend the regulations but very rarely enforce them.
how many bjj practitioners will ever compete in even one cbjj event?
i would guess less than 5%.
take an average bjj club that is not within 100 miles of a major cbjj tourney. 30-100 people in the club. maybe a couple of guys will compete in a cbjj.
there are hundreds of clubs that will probably never have anyone go to a cbjj event.
lets face it the market for recreational bjj players is
way higher than the market for competitive cbjj guys.
besides, this is 50 gis total. probably just a little treat for guys who want something different with some style.
not for a guy who is buying his only primary gi.
