AJTCUP

AJTCUP is a Gi-only youth tournament for competitors aged 8 to 20, spanning age divisions from U10 through U21. Competitors are grouped by skill level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced), though organizers reserve the right to adjust groupings to keep highly skilled athletes out of beginner brackets. Each athlete may register for one weight category but can compete in two age divisions.

Registration fees:

• Child/Youth (8–17): $50/2,500 TL standard (until Dec 13, 2026), $60/2,900 TL late (until Dec 14)
• Adults (18–20): $60/2,900 TL standard, $70/3,500 TL late
• A $200 missed-registration compensation option is available before weigh-in

Schedule: Weigh-in takes place December 18, 2026 (14:00–18:00), with competition starting December 19 at 09:00.

A few rules stand out: athletes must step onto the mat within two minutes of being called or face disqualification, no weight tolerance is allowed (though adjustments can be requested), and hard equipment such as jewelry, headgear, or groin protectors is prohibited. Turkish athletes need ID and a Jujitsu License, while foreign competitors must present a passport at weigh-in. Headscarves are permitted, but competing shirtless is not.
