WELCOME TO THE YOUTH CUP

For the first time, the Sport Jiu-Jitsu Canada Federation (SJJCANF) is bringing the internationally recognized Sport Jiu-Jitsu International Federation (SJJIF) rule set to the Greater Toronto Area youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community.

我们对运动员、教练和道馆将享受SJJIF比赛体验充满信心，因此此次活动对SJJCANF会员完全免费。

符合条件的运动员可在最多两个项目中免费参赛，Gi 项目和 No-Gi 项目各最多一个。

Youth Cup 旨在为年轻运动员提供一个有趣且专业组织的比赛体验，同时向他们介绍全球发展最快的巴西柔术竞赛体系之一。
