IBJJF Nogi Competition - Shorts

[dustin]

Does anyone know if the Nogi Rank Volt shorts are legal for IBJJF Nogi competition? Received a pair as a gift from my girlfriend on Valentines, so she's definitely sticking around for at least another year.

I've emailed IBJJF about this twice, but have yet to receive a response.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Here's a link to them: NOGI Nogi Industries Rank Volt Shorts #32414

I hope you have the black short

Nope, I was gifted the blue shorts. I know there is an "IBJJF approved" stamp, however I have seen plenty of videos of guys grappling in shorts that aren't listed as "IBJJF Approved" at the Nogi Worlds as well as other events.

If they aren't approved then in my opinion thats rediculous.

As long as the shorts are more or less black, you should be good. The ones you linked to looked fine. The trimming doesn't matter and they aren't that strict with the shorts. The "pre-approved" thing is to trick you entire buying from their sponsors.
