The Official WJJC Student Uniform
A Symbol of Belonging, Discipline, and Global Unity
All students of the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation, regardless of their country of origin, wear the exact same Gi (Kimono). This is not merely an aesthetic choice it reflects the spirit of universality, equality, and brotherhood that defines our organization across the globe.
Composition of the Official Uniform
The WJJC uniform stands out for its elegance, functionality, and symbolic meaning. It is composed of:
- A white jacket with white collar and red inserts
- White trousers with a red side stripe
- A belt representing the student's current grade
Distinctive Elements
Each official Gi is adorned with high-quality embroidery:
- On the back of the jacket, the full acronym WJJC is embroidered, a strong statement of global identity.
- On the collar, the Japanese kanji representing our school are embroidered, symbolizing our deep respect for traditional Eastern martial culture.
- On the left chest, a refined embroidery of Saint George adds elegance and conveys courage, determination, and the spirit of justice.
- For instructors, their name is embroidered above the chest emblem, emphasizing the responsibility of their role.
Patches and Symbols of Recognition
Every WJJC student must apply one mandatory patch on their Gi:
1. World Nation Badge
- This patch expresses the student's national identity, displaying the flag of their country, and highlighting their nation with a red mark on a stylized world map.
More than a decorative element, this badge is a powerful symbol of identity, commitment, and pride, bridging the local and global dimensions of our organization.
Uniforms for Junior Students
Junior students (children and teens) wear the same uniform and follow the same patch guidelines. However, they may add:
- Junior Patch
A symbol of their educational journey within the youth division of the WJJC. - Junior Leader Patch
A special distinction awarded only to the most deserving junior students those selected for their discipline, teamwork, and dedication.
Wearing this patch is a great honor and a mark of responsibility.
Why the Uniform Matters
Wearing the WJJC uniform properly is not just a matter of appearance it is an act of respect:
- toward oneself and one's martial path,
- toward one’s instructor and school,
- toward one’s teammates and organization,
- and ultimately, toward the way of Budo, rooted in discipline, respect, and constant self-improvement.
The uniform erases all differences, promotes equality in value, and nurtures unity of spirit, even across nations, languages, and cultures.
The WJJC uniform is, ultimately, a bridge between tradition and modernity, between individual identity and collective belonging. It is one of the most powerful tools we have to forge cohesion, motivation, and a deep sense of family within our great martial community.
