"Building Character Through Jiu-Jitsu"
The Finals close out the 2026 IN-HOUSE Friendly Series, organized by East LA Jiu-Jitsu, a 501(c)3 nonprofit jiu-jitsu school serving the entire East Side of Los Angeles. This is the only event of the year offering both Gi and No-Gi divisions, and every medal counts double toward final season standings.

The Finals is the only event in the series offering No-Gi divisions. Uniform rules below apply specifically to No-Gi matches.
All weigh-ins are without Gi, so these weight classes apply the same whether an athlete is registered for Gi, No-Gi, or Both. Zero weight allowance. lbs = maximum per class. Boys and girls compete separately in the same weight classes.
