Sport Jujitsu was developed for students to compete in a controlled environment and test their skills against another opponent.

Currently we have a few different rule sets. They all however do have the following similarities:

  1. Self Defence
    1. A display of self-defence techniques with limited resistance from the opponent. This is purely a demonstration of the Jujitsu techniques the student has learnt over the years.
    2. The divisions are divided into belt and age categories.
  2. Kumite / Sparring
    1. All competitors are to wear safety equipment for protection.
    2. Light to medium contact is allowed to legal target areas.
    3. The divisions for kumite are weight groups and in some international levels they are divided into belt groups as well.
  3. Grappling / Ground fighting
    1. The grappling competitions are tested on their skills to gain dominant positions, escaping submission techniques and applying submission techniques.
    2. Submission techniques include: strangulations, arm locks and leg locks. Some tournaments rules are limited to the submission techniques.
    3. The divisions for grappling are weight groups and in some international levels they are divided into belt groups as well.
