Official Statement
For years, the IBJJF has been committed to maintaining the safety and integrity of the Jiu-Jitsu community by proactively identifying and removing individuals who compromise our standards. Our mission is to ensure that Jiu Jitsu remains a secure environment for every practitioner, and we have maintained a consistent policy of permanently removing individuals who breach these principles. 
In order to uphold this commitment, the following requirements for registered members have been in place for several years.
• SafeSport Certification: All black belts must complete SafeSport training upon applying for a certificate or degree renewal. This program is essential for identifying, preventing, and reporting sexual misconduct and recognizing professional red flags within an academy.
• Mandatory Background Checks: We enforce rigorous background checks for all Black belts that are responsible for a gym or an association and their direct assistant coaches to ensure only those in good standing lead our community.
The IBJJF unequivocally condemns all forms of abusive behavior and unprofessional conduct. We do not condone or support any actions that threaten the well-being of Jiu-Jitsu students or the reputation of our sport.
Regarding the reports and testimonies this past weekend, we are treating these accusations with the highest priority. We are currently monitoring all relevant developments and gathering information to take decisive action. The safety of students and the integrity of martial arts instruction are non-negotiable, and we will continue to evolve our protocols to protect our community.
