ABOUT JJFJ

Played by thousands around the world, Jiu-Jitsu is the heart and soul of JJFJ and as the guardian in Japan of this most cherished game, we have a great responsibility. This responsibility does not end with organising Championships and Seminars; it extends to safeguarding the traditions of Jiu-Jitsu, developing the game around the world and to bringing hope to those less privileged. This is what we believe is the very essence of martial-arts.
 

< MISSION >

We see it as our mission to contribute towards building a better future for the world by creating through Jiu-Jitsu, a healthy body, mind, and spirit. This mission gives meaning and direction to each and every activity that JJFJ is involved in - Jiu-Jitsu being an integrated part of our society.
