With the 2010 Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship coming up this weekend I thought it would be a good time to post a list of the different weight classes as listed by the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. Of course you are weighed while wearing the gi, so make sure you take that into account.
ADULT, MASTER, & SENIOR

Pluma = Light Feather 141.0 lbs (64,00 kg)
Pena = Feather 154.0 lbs (70,00 kg)

Pena = Feather 129.0 lbs (58,50 kg)

To be honest, I sometimes confuse these myself too!
