ADCC Weight Class Finder
Find your ADCC weight division. ADCC submission grappling uses far fewer, wider divisions than IBJJF — and a day-before weigh-in that changes everything about how athletes cut.

ADCC — the Abu Dhabi Combat Club World Championship, often called the Olympics of grappling — uses five men's weight divisions: −66 kg, −77 kg, −88 kg, −99 kg and +99 kg. The women's championship runs three: −55 kg, −65 kg and +65 kg. There's also an Absolute (open) division at the World Championship. These are no-gi weigh-ins, so the number is your body weight in shorts and a rashguard.
How ADCC differs from IBJJF
Two differences matter most. First, ADCC has only five men's divisions to IBJJF's nine, so the gaps between classes are much wider — a −77 kg ADCC bracket spans a range IBJJF would split across two or three divisions. Second, ADCC weighs in the day before competition, not minutes before your match. That 24-hour window lets athletes rehydrate after a cut, so ADCC competitors often step on the mat well above their weigh-in number. ADCC Opens and Trials use a more granular set of weight classes — always check the rules for the specific event you're entering.
