Unión Panamericana de Jiu Jitsu – UPJJ – Ju Jitsu Panamerican Union will be conducting a Referee Congress this month in November. For more information, please contact you national representative Sarah Stanton (President USJJO) or Jose Dominguez (UPJJ Head Referee).
The World Games 2022 Birmingham will be an extraordinary Olympic-style sports experience where elite athletes from all over the world compete for gold in 34 unique, multi-disciplinary sports. Featuring 3,600 athletes from more than 100 countries, the international event will unite global fans with the Birmingham community in over 25 unique venues around the greater metropolitan area. The World Games 2022 Birmingham, which marks the 40th anniversary of the event, will take place from 7-17 July 2022. The World Games was established by the International World Games Association, an organization recognized by the International Olympic Committee.
Ju-Jitsu will be featured in the World Games 2022. Ju-Jitsu is a Japanese martial art and a method of close combat and self-defense. It expresses the philosophy of yielding to an opponent’s force rather than trying to oppose force with force. Manipulating an opponent’s attack using his force and direction allows jutsukas (athletes) to control the balance of their opponent, hence preventing the opponent from resisting the counterattack. There are two disciplines of Ju-Jitsu offered in The World Games: Fighting and Ne-Waza. The USJJO is excited to see Ju-Jitsu in the world stage event.

The USJJO is sending a Ju-Jitsu Team to Sweden to represent the USA in the JJIF World Championships. The event will be held at Baltiska Hallen, Malmö, Sweden between Thursday 22th and Sunday 25th November 2018. This is a unique opportunity for our country men and women to represent the United States at the highest level of competitive Jujitsu/JiuJitsu. Not only will we be sending athletes to compete in Jujitsu (Fighting) and Newaza (JiuJitsu), but, we will also be sending a team of Para JiuJitsu competitors!
