The WJJC Uniform: A Symbol of belonging and growth
All around the world, students of the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation proudly wear the traditional white gi, distinguished by red stripes on the pants, a white collar with red stripes, and unique embroidery on the back, chest, and collar of the jacket.
This uniform, worn by both red and brown belt practitioners, represents commitment, discipline, and a shared sense of belonging to a vast international family.
However, upon reaching the Yudansha level becoming a black belt and instructor the gi changes color and takes on an even deeper meaning.
The jacket turns red with a black collar, and the instructor’s name is embroidered on the chest, making them instantly recognizable on the tatami. The official badges sewn on the gi also clearly indicate the wearer’s rank and experience.
At international seminars, practitioners from all over the world train together. The WJJC uniform allows everyone to immediately recognize whether they are training with a student or an instructor, as well as their nationality, displayed on the badge sewn on the left sleeve, near the heart.
The red jacket is a coveted achievement, but also a significant responsibility: wearing it means accepting the challenge to lead others on their path of personal and technical growth.
The pride and sense of belonging to the WJJC deepen even further, symbolizing the birth of a new jujitsuka ready to embark on a new journey within the Kishidō style and the global community of the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation.
