Judo and Wrestling are Olympic events and have been for sometime.
Now, we all know that MMA will never be Olympic, but what about No-Gi Grappling, or even JiuJitsu with the Gi? in Olympic rules Judo, boh competitors are going for the pin (ippon) and if they can't do that, then they go for the submission. but with the growing popularity of grappling is there a possibility of seeing jiujitsu or even No-Gi grappling at the Summer Olympics? They are ***ing events to the Winter olympics all the time with the different snowboarding evetns, and with the growing prominence of BJJ tournaments, as well as NAGA, Grappler's Quest, and most importantly ADCC, I think it would be great to see BJJ in the Olympics, finally see some real main-stream notoriety for the famous masters of the Guard.
What do you think, and would you want to see it?

Carlinhos said he's not trying to get BJJ in the Olympics, though I believe he was at one point. He explained that to qualify, you need to have the sport represented in over 70 countries, each of which need to have both male and female black belts teams. BJJ simply is not wide spread or big enough to meet these requirements, though it may be at some point in the future (years or decades).

Submission Wrestling is closer than you think to making that move. Notice I say submission wrestling and not No-Gi BJJ....there is a difference

[Tom Hishon]

Seeing it was one of the original events of the Olympics in greece, probably pretty good.

[chdnny]

greco roman is more similar to the one in greece

[barnes]

I hope so. I'm sure that it would get more spectators than curling..

[Judoka_]

Freestyle wrestling was the event in greece. Nothing else

[Commissar]

And Pankration.

[Legend Killer]

I dont see why not...I mean if table tennis makes the cut then why not no-gi grappling?

[azjudoboxer]

There was actually a push to have Pankration be added as a demo sport to the Athens games. I think thats probably what will be added next
