ADCC

The ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club) is the most prestigious no-gi grappling tournament in the world. Created in 1998 and held every two years, it offers only sixteen spots per division, split between the winners of the continental trials and direct invitations: the absolute elite of jiu-jitsu and grappling, under a unique ruleset that rewards submissions and risk-taking.
