A list of the allowed techniques in each division is availible at the following link (scroll to "Allowable techniques")

Allowable techniques

Gi: Athletes have to wear a BJJ gi/kimono that fits their body along with a belt colored to match their rank in BJJ(White, Blue, Purple, Brown or Black). The Gi must be clean without visible tears and not obviously too short or too long. The top and pants must be of the same color and patches are allowed as long as the patches on the Gi do not prevent the opponent from gripping it

NoGi: Athletes have to wear board shorts without pockets or with pockets entirely stitched shut. Spats can be worn under the shorts if selected. Athletes also have to wear a rashguard or a shirt of elastic fabric (clings to body). This rash guard or shirt does not need to meet any color requirements.
