The Mauritius Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (MBJJF) is opposed to the practice of doping in sport on ethical and medical grounds and embraces the concept of fair play as a fundamental value integral to sport. Sport without doping is a key component of fair play that demonstrates respect, integrity, and honesty to the sport, oneself, and others.

The MBJJF Anti-Doping Policy aims to:
