We also encourage martial arts members of other styles to join us if they are in need of a new club. As Jujitsu is the oldest martial art it has similarities to all others as they are mostly variations of traditional Jujitsu anyway.

Kata (型 or 形, literally: "form") is a Japanese word describing detailed choreographed patterns of movements practiced either solo or in pairs. Kata are used in many traditional Japanese arts such as theater forms like kabuki and schools of tea ceremony (chadō), but are most commonly known for the presence in the martial arts. Kata are used by most traditional Japanese and Okinawan martial arts, such as aikidō, iaidō, jōdō, jūdō, jūjutsu, kenjutsu, kendō and karatedō. Other arts such as t'ai chi ch'uan and taekwondo feature the same kind of training, but use the respective Chinese and Korean words instead.
Competitions at the highest level in a multitude of diverse, popular and spectacular sports make up the mainstay of The World Games.
Sports practiced on land, in the air, in and on the water, they all concur in the pursuit of 'Faster, Higher, Stronger'.

As the pinnacle in the competition calendar and as a highly visible stage for top athletes to perform on, The World Games generate worldwide exposure for the participating sports and athletes alike.
Above all, The World Games provide the unique setting for thousands of athletes from different sports and countries to join in a celebration of unity and friendship across all boundaries. The World Games are the MAIN EVENT for all these athletes - one marked by sporting exploits as well as by camaraderie.
The Ju Jitsu Grading Syllabus is base on the Ju Jitsu International Federation syllabus so our sudents can be matched against other Ju Jitsu people from around the world.
The Kyu grrading syllabus is attached bellow for grades under First Dan (Black Belt).
Kyū (級, Kyū?) is a Japanese term used in martial arts, chadō, ikebana, go, shogi and in other similar activities to designate various grades or levels of proficiency or experience.
In Japanese martial arts, kyū-level practitioners hold the ranks below dan or black belt. The kyū ranking system varies from art to art and school to school. In some arts, all the kyū-level practitioners wear white belts while in others different coloured belts, tags or stripes are used; in kendo and aikido there are not usually external indicators of grade. Although some aikido schools do use a coloured belt system the norm is for kyū grades to wear a white belt, and for dan grades to wear a black belt.
Kyū-level practitioners are often called mudansha (無段者, mudansha?), "ones without dan" and are considered as initiates rather than students. When practitioners have reached the ranking of first degree black belt, they become shodansha (初段者, shodansha?). The holder of a black belt of any degree is a yūdansha (有段者, yūdansha?), "one with dan".
Dan rank (段位 dan'i , Dan rank?) system is a Japanese mark of level, which is used in traditional fine arts and martial arts. Originally invented in a Go school in the Edo period,[1] this system was later applied to martial arts by Kano Jigoro, the founder of judo and later introduced to other East Asian countries.
In the modern Japanese martial arts, holders of dan ranks often wear a black belt. Dan ranks are still given in arts such as the logical board games Go, Renju, the art of flower arrangement (ikebana) and tea ceremony.
The character of Dan (段, dan?) means step or grade, but is commonly equated with degree. Dan rank is often used along with the lower rank system, Kyū (級, Kyū?) rank. There are other methods of assessing rank in Japanese martial systems, of particular note is the older, menkyo system.
