IBJJF / CBJJ reserves the right to reject academies with the same or similar names to other academies previously registered under any federation linked to IBJJF.
Similar academy names cause confusion on member applications, bracket structuring, instructor corrections, team points, etc. So, every Academy enrolled in IBJJF must have a unique or distinguishable name.
Academies under an association can use the association name as part of their academy name, but will need to add something unique to the name, such as the academy's city, to distinguish the academy from other academies within the association.
IBJJF / CBJJ reserves the right to reject academy names that are deemed offensive or inappropriate.
Athletes under a Provisional status cannot be the Head Professor of an academy, but can be an Additional Professor.
