USA JIU-JITSU ® Referee Certification Program

USJJF COMPETITION REFEREE TRAINING & CERTIFICATION

In 1998, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) adopted the World Games as the "Third Leg" of the Olympics!  Ju-Jitsu Competition was first included in the 1997 World Games and again Jiu-Jitsu was included as a "World Class Sport" Jiu-Jitsu Competition in the World Games in 2001 in Atika, Japan. Jiu-Jitsu continues to be a “World Class Sport” with the International World Games Association (IWGA) and The Association For International Sport For All (TAFISA) under the Patronage & Support of the IOC..

This is Great News! Congratulations to all of our National & International Jiu-Jitsu Leaders..!!


There has been a lot of Effort and Leadership to make this happen. Today, the Sport Venue of Jiu-Jitsu is included in over 70 Countries with National Jiu-Jitsu Federations. The United States Ju-Jitsu Federation is the USA National Federation & National Governing Body with the World Ju-Jitsu Association (WJJA) and World Jiu-Jitsu.  

All of this development has been based on a "standardized" set of International Competition Rules which have been adopted by the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), (the International Sports Federation recognized by the IOC),International World Games Association and The Association For International Sport For All (TAFISA). 

The Competition Rules consist of three types of competition. These venues are referred as “Ju-Jitsu Kumite”, "Duo" (or Self Defense) and Jiu-Jitsu Grappling Competition.
