Black Belt Examinations: Excellence Certified by the Founder
Every year, official black belt examinations are held in each country affiliated with the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation. These events represent a significant milestone for every practitioner a moment of personal growth, technical achievement, and deep commitment.
Throughout their preparation, candidates train with focus and determination, aiming to be evaluated by Soke Adriano Busà, founder of the WJJC and the only individual authorized to assess and officially validate black belt rankings on an international level.
Soke’s direct involvement ensures that the Kishidō style is taught and transmitted authentically and consistently, maintaining the integrity of our technical system across the globe.
The grading commission is composed of:
- Soke Adriano Busà
- The National Technical Director
- Members of the local technical commission, appointed by the national representative
All members must hold at least one grade higher than the candidate, ensuring a fair and rigorous evaluation.
At the conclusion of the exam, candidates receive the prestigious International Black Belt Diploma, personally signed and sealed by Soke.
All other official diplomas, titles, and certifications are awarded during major WJJC events such as congresses, seminars, masterclasses, tournaments, gala dinners, and ceremonies.
Achieving a black belt within the WJJC means joining a recognized martial elite—custodians of technique, values, and the true spirit of teamwork.
