We use a Hayastan Submission Grappling Rule System which is quite different than many rule systems presently in use with other organizations. We get great reviews about our rules from almost everyone who competes in our circuit. We train our refs and make sure that safety is their main priority.

UNIFORM:

Gi Divisions (Not all tournament locations offer Gi Divisions)

All Gi competitors must wear a full Gi including jacket, pants, and belt. no short sleeve jackets will be allowed. no shorts allowed in Gi divisions. No wrestling shoes allowed in gi divisions.

No Gi Divisions

Cargo shorts or any other street cloths will not be allowed. Competitors may compete with no shirt (Male only), t-shirt, or rashguard. Wrestling shoes are allowed in no gi divisions.

In an eleventh hours move, both METAL and APT have paid the IPF the increased licensing fees which will allow their products to continue to be used in the federation and in all of its international affiliate competitions.

The IPF will remove METAL, APT and Crain products from its list of approved gear and equipment as early as next week. The federation released a statement saying that the change is due to the fact that "some manufacturers have not fulfilled their obligations". Those obligations include a hefty fee that needs to be paid to the IPF.
