IL House Bill 1490 is a bill that is changing the landscape of the amateur combat world in Illinois. Soup to nuts, medicals, fees, regulations, rules plus much more.

More ?

What else can they change ?

JIU-JITSU

The state wants to ban Jiu-Jitsu tournaments such as NAGA (www.Nagafighter.com) and Grapplers Quest (www.GrapplersQuest.com) events with in their boarders. This is an outrage! Sports such as wrestling and judo are still legal in the state but for some reason Jiu-Jitsu was taken out. We can try to help out "The Prairie State" and sign this petition below before their Governor regulates this bill against amateur combat sports. Let's help out our Jiu-Jitsu family!
