PJJF COMPETITION REFEREE TRAINING & CERTIFICATION
In 1998, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) adopted the World Games as the "Third Leg" of the Olympics! Ju-Jitsu Competition was first included in the 1997 World Games and again Ju-Jitsu was included as a "World Class Sport" Ju-Jitsu Competition in the World Games in 2001 in Atika, Japan. Ju-Jitsu continues to be a “World Class Sport” with the International World Games Association (IWGA) and The Association For International Sport For All (TAFISA) under the Patronage & Support of the IOC..
This is Great News! Congratulations to all of our National & International Ju-Jitsu & Jiu-Jitsu Leaders!
