Developmental Goals
In support of grassroots athlete development, the championship includes dedicated children’s divisions with separate boys’ and girls’ weight categories.
All divisions will strictly follow JJIF rules (which are similar to IBJJF) weight classes and age groups for Childrens divisions, ensuring standardized competition formats and fair matchups for all participants. This provides structured preparation for youth athletes aiming to represent the Philippine National Team and compete in international JJIF or even IBJJF-sanctioned tournaments in the future.
