HISTORIC OVERVIEW
Ju-Jitsu, meaning “gentle art”, is a martial arts which dates back to 16th century Japan. Ju-Jitsu helps to defend oneself with a flexible reaction to violence. From Japan it spread all around the world and developed as sport, violence prevention and modern self-defence.

JJIF does not represent a specific style of Ju-Jitsu but provides sporting competition. At the moment, the JJIF administers three disciplines at world level: Duo System, Fighting System and Ne-Waza.

BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE RULES
Duo System
A team of two shows self-defence techniques against attacks that cover the following scenarios: grip attack, embrace attack, hit attack and armed attack.
The athletes will be judged in terms of speed, accuracy, control, variety and realism. Scores from 0 to 10 (0.5 point interval) are given with the highest and the lowest scores not being included.

Fighting System
This three minute one-on-one combat between athletes from opposing teams is divided into three parts: In Part I the Jujitsukas involve in distance combat with controlled kicks and punches. Once a grab has been made, the fight enters Part II.
Now the fighters try to bring one another down with various throwing techniques. Once down on the tatami (mats), the match enters Part III where points are given for immobilization techniques, controlled strangulations or levers on body joints that bring the opponent to yield. The competition requires timing, agility, strength and endurance.
The winner is the Jujitsuka who has accumulated most points during the fight or performed a “perfect technique in all three Parts”, called a “Full-Ippon”. In this case the fight will be ended before time has expired.
