2016 JJIF World Championships – USA: Larry Dupler, Jr

2016 Ju-Jitsu International Federation World Championships
USA Competitor Larry Dupler Jr.

larrydupler1The USJJO announced today that Larry Dupler Jr will be representing the United States at the 2016 Ju Jitsu International Federation (JJIF) World Championships in Worclaw, Poland, November 25 – 27, 2016.

Larry Dupler Jr will be competing in the under 77kg Fighting System for the USA. Larry recently represented the USA at the Pan-American JuJitsu Championships in Panama City, Panama. He trains at Annarino’s Martial Arts under Grand Master George Annarino in Newark, Ohio.

The JJIF offers three forms of ju-jitsu competition: the Fighting System, Ne-Waza (Brazilian Ju-Jitsu) and the Duo System.

The Ju-Jitsu fighting is a one-on-one competition divided into three parts. For part one, the competitor attempts to score with various strikes, punches and kicks. Part two begins after one competitor grabs the other and from there they battle for a take-down to the ground. Part three involves submissions such as strangulations, holding and barring/locking of various body joints. The winner is the competitor that accumulated the most points throughout the match, however an automatic victory may happen if the competitor received “Ippon” (clean action/full points) in each part.

The Ne-Waza (Brazilian) fight starts in a standing position and the competitors try to gain points with several throwing, take-down, immobilizing techniques, sweeps and submissions. The fight can ultimately be won by a submission. If a submission does not happen, the fight is won by the competitor that has accumulated the most points throughout the match.

The USJJO is the National Governing Body of Ju-Jitsu in the USA and Official Full National Member to the JJIF. The JJIF represents Sports Ju-Jitsu worldwide and is the only Ju-Jitsu organization recognized by the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) and the International World Games Association (IWGA). The JJIF provides the opportunity for elite athletes from their National Members to compete in the World Games, which are organized and governed by the IWGA under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
