Welcome to the website of Sport Ju-Jitsu New Zealand, a branch of the New Zealand Ju-Jitsu Federation charged with administrating the sporting formats of the martial art of ju-jitsu.

At the heart of SJJ(NZ) is its National Circuit which consists of ranking tournaments and a National Championship. Using the National Circuit, competitors can gain experience in Freefighting, Grappling and Demonstration Self Defence and work towards top national rankings and national titles. A Sport Ju-Jitsu Black Belt system is provided to recognise those competitors reaching milestone achievements.

In support of competition are SJJ(NZ)-trained officials who are part of the Referees' Programme. The Programme provides a blend of theory and practice to allow referees to progress through the various classes to international-level referee.

In addition to information on the above, this site provides data on tournament results, individual competitors, referees and clubs. A history of sport ju-jitsu in New Zealand is provided for interest and outstanding competitors and referees have been acknowledged in the Achievements page.
