NATIONAL REPRESENTATION

National Representation within the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation defines how the Kishidō System is developed, coordinated and represented at national level.
It is a role of trust, responsibility and leadership, entrusted to experienced individuals committed to the growth of Ju-Jitsu within their country, while remaining aligned with the international vision of the WJJC.

NATIONAL AUTONOMY

Within the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation, each National Representative is granted full operational autonomy within their own country.
This autonomy allows the Representative to develop, organize and manage activities in accordance with national needs, cultural context and local growth.

SCOPE OF NATIONAL AUTHORITY

At national level, the National Representative is authorized to:

• organize courses and training programs

• award Kyu grades

• appoint and recognize new instructors

• organize workshops, seminars and examinations

• promote and manage competitions, events and sporting activities

All such activities are conducted within the national territory and under alignment with WJJC principles and standards.

DAN GRADES AND MARTIAL AUTHORITY

The examination and awarding of Dan grades fall exclusively under the authority of the Sōke.
This preserves the unity, integrity and continuity of the Kishidō System at international level.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND AUTHORIZATION

For activities extending beyond national boundaries, prior authorization is required from the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation and the Sōke.
The Sōke acts as the global martial reference and direct teacher within the international structure of the WJJC.

FREEDOM WITHIN RESPONSIBILITY

Within their country, the National Representative is free to operate, develop and organize as deemed appropriate.
This freedom is exercised within a framework of responsibility, respect for standards and alignment with the values of the WJJC.

SUPPORT FROM THE WJJC

The World Ju-Jitsu Corporation remains available to support, assist and advise National Representatives whenever needed.
This collaboration ensures that national activities are strengthened by international experience, guidance and shared vision.
