THE GUIDELINES OF THE
JU JITSU INSTRUCTORS
ALLIANCE
TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE ART OF JU JITSU TAUGHT IN AUSTRALIA.
The J.J.IA. will strive to preserve the art of Ju Jitsu, (past, present and future).
The J.J.I.A. will act as an independent body and has no interest in the day to day running of established clubs and organisations, other than to maintain a platform for the advancement for reputable instructors.
TO SUPPORT FELLOW INSTRUCTORS AND MAINTAIN A RECOGNISED GRADING BOARD TO OVER SEE BLACK BELT GRADINGS TO THE RANK OF 3RD DAN.
The J.J.I.A. if required, can sit on a panel of instructors to view an organisations in house 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Dan gradings. The J.J.I.A. will not dictate the requirements of the said gradings as these are normally set by each club in accordance with their own grading system.
In the case where an instructor ranked at 1st or 2nd Dan and running their own club, wishes to progress beyond their current grade, the J.J.I.A, can help to formulate grading requirements and or arrange a grading panel to view said grading. If the participant is successful in obtaining their grade the J.J.I.A. will issue a certificate of recognition for said Dan level.
TO RECOGNISE FELLOW INSTRUCTORS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE ART OF JU JITSU.
The J.J.I.A. will strive to recognise Ju Jitsu instructors above the rank of 4TH Dan for their contribution to the art of Ju Jitsu.

* Note: THE J.J.I.A. WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL CLUBS DOJO ETIQUETTE.
TO SHARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNIQUES SO AS TO ENSURE THAT JU JITSU CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND ADAPT TO THE TIMES THAT WE LIVE IN.
The J.J.I.A. supports innovation and change that is beneficial to the Art of Ju Jitsu and therefore endorses the development and the sharing of new techniques and innovative ideas. The J.J.I.A. believes that this train of thought will further enhance the art of Ju Jitsu and preserve it for future generations.
TO DELIVER COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUCTION IN THE ART OF JU JITSU IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SUITABLE TO MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
The J.J.I.A. supports instructors that use structured training systems to deliver comprehensive tuition to men, women and children of all ages and ability.
The J.J.I.A. will not dictate how individual instructors are to set up their grading system or the recognition signature (coloured belt system) used to identify grading level. This will be decided by each club in its own right, but may need to be explained if the J.J.I.A. is requested to witness a grading.
The J.J.I.A. can if required give advice on the formulation of a grading system based on the individual clubs agenda.
TO SHARE IN INTER CLUB ACTIVITIES SUCH AS TRAINING CAMPS AND SEMINARS TO FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT OF COMRADESHIP WITH FELLOW JU JITSUIANS.
The J.J.I.A. endorses the interaction of individual Ju Jitsu clubs for such events as training camps and seminars. Such events foster an environment of comradeship and form strong bonds within the Ju Jitsu
Health and Safety
Each club must have in place a comprehensive OH&S strategy that details emergency procedures, safe handling of equipment, reporting procedures and deligated personel for OH&S matters. This strategy should be clearly displayed in the Dojo so that all particepants have access to it.
