OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OVERVIEW

Official recognition within the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation (WJJC) represents formal acknowledgment within the institutional system of the organization. It is granted to individuals or entities that demonstrate technical competence, ethical conduct and organizational responsibility while operating in alignment with the principles and regulations of the WJJC. Recognition is not informal, automatic or symbolic. It results from careful evaluation designed to ensure credibility, reliability and continuity within the Kishidō Ju-Jitsu system.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Applicability of Official Recognition

Official recognition within the WJJC may apply to:

• Schools seeking formal recognition within the WJJC

• Instructors applying for certified status under WJJC standards

• Individuals considered for national or regional representation

Recognition is granted only when the institutional requirements established by the WJJC are fully satisfied.

WHAT OFFICIAL RECOGNITION IMPLIES
Meaning and Institutional Value

Official recognition within the WJJC signifies inclusion within the institutional system of the organization. Recognized instructors, schools and representatives operate within clearly defined roles and responsibilities that ensure alignment with the principles and direction of the WJJC. Through this system, the WJJC maintains unity, credibility and responsible development within its international network.

INSTITUTIONAL AGREEMENT
Institutional Basis for Recognition

All forms of official recognition within the WJJC are governed by a formal Institutional Agreement. This agreement defines the conditions of recognition, mutual responsibilities, scope of authorization and compliance requirements. Through this agreement, the WJJC ensures clarity, protection and transparency for both the organization and the recognized party.

WHAT OFFICIAL RECOGNITION IS NOT
Clarifying Institutional Boundaries

Official recognition within the WJJC is not a commercial license, a franchise or a simple membership. It does not grant unrestricted autonomy and does not operate outside the institutional system of the WJJC. Recognition represents responsibility and alignment with the principles, direction and standards established by the organization.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Evaluation and Approval

Requests for official recognition are examined according to established criteria, including technical competence, organizational capability and alignment with the principles of the WJJC. The evaluation may involve documentation review, technical assessment and formal approval by the WJJC. This ensures that recognition remains credible and consistent with the long-term vision of the organization.
