ADCC Submission Wrestling Championship
The ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club) Submission Wrestling World Championship is a martial arts competition created by Sheik Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the son of the former United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. He teamed up with his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor Nelson Monteiro and created the rules and invited practitioners successful at the highest levels of  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, judo, MMA, submission wrestling, sambo, and shooto. The rules of the event disallow strikes while promoting grappling and submissions. This tournament was the fight of it’s popularity without the traditional martial gi or kimono. Now, thousands of Submission grappling tournaments around the world use elements of the ADCC format and rule structure. The popularity of no-gi training around the world has definitely increased because of the ADCC tournament.
