The Ju-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF) has opened the application process for clubs and federations interested in hosting endorsed events during the 2026 season. These JJIF Endorsed Events are officially recognized competitions that offer a unique opportunity to promote the growth of Ju-Jitsu both locally and internationally.

The application is open exclusively to members of JJIF, either a recognized national organization (JJNO) or a club approved by its respective JJNO. Endorsed events not only enjoy official prestige, but also help strengthen communities, create collaboration networks, and provide competitive experience to athletes.

A strategic opportunity to grow in Ju-Jitsu

Hosting a JJIF Endorsed Event is more than just organizing a competition: it means strategically positioning yourself as a key player in Ju-Jitsu’s global expansion. Benefits include official recognition from JJIF, greater national and international visibility, opportunities for athlete development, and a closer connection with other communities in the sport. These events are also open to international participants, even if they are not current members of the federation.

Interested clubs can review the full guidelines in the Organizer Handbook 2024 and submit their application to events@jjif.org. JJIF invites you to be an active part of the sport’s evolution and help build a strong, global future for this growing discipline.
