About Sport Jiu-Jitsu International Federation
SJJIF was established in June of 2012 with the primary goal to unify and organize existing Sport Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Jiu-Jitsu National and/or territorial federations that share the vision of reaching Olympic greatness while preserving the unique history, culture, philosophy and lineage of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Establishing one set of governing rules, the SJJIF has helped develop or unify existing federations, creating a growing network of likeminded members who envision greater opportunities for our athletes and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The SJJIF has further developed the sport by providing National Federations with the opportunity to be part of the true international governing body of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where their voice and vote directs the future of the SJJIF and sport through general assembly meetings and votes.
