The term "students" refers to all members of the World Ju-Jitsu Corporation (WJJC), including children, teenagers, men, and women of all ages, levels, and roles within the organization. This also includes black belts who, despite having achieved a high technical rank, continue to follow their Sensei or representative to deepen and continuously improve their practice. In Ju-Jitsu, learning is a lifelong journey: you are always a student, regardless of the experience gained on the tatami.
Generally, "students" are those who regularly attend classes at the dojo with colored belts that is, practitioners at the Kyu levels, both Junior and Senior—wearing the official white and red WJJC Gi. These students follow the WJJC technical syllabus and prepare to reach the black belt level, undergoing a structured and progressive path of growth.
"Sensei" refers to certified instructors who have passed specific teaching exams and who stand out by wearing the official WJJC Gi with a red jacket. They are responsible for the technical and educational training of students and serve as key mentors in every practitioner’s martial arts journey.
Being a WJJC student means not only learning Ju-Jitsu techniques but also being part of a global community that promotes values such as respect, discipline, perseverance, and personal development. On this path, every practitioner is encouraged to continuously improve, keeping their passion for the martial art alive and contributing to the spread of Ju-Jitsu culture.
Remember: in Ju-Jitsu, the learning never stops. Every day on the tatami is an opportunity to grow both technically and personally.
