Two competitors per match; Weight classes (Adult Male, kg): -56, -62, -69, -77, -85, -94, -120; Belt classification: White, Blue, Purple, Brown, Black (recognized via UAEJJF + IBJJF cross-recognition)
Why people argue about this
People often assume that all AJP Jiu-Jitsu matches are head-to-head competitions without realizing that in specified weight classes from -56 kg to -120 kg, each match does indeed have two competitors simultaneously grappling for a decision. The confusion arises because they might not fully grasp the concept of simultaneous competition within these weight categories.
