About us.
The World Ju-Jitsu Federation
The origins of Ju-Jitsu lie far back in the past and there is no clear line of historical development – it seems to be involved with just about every martial art practiced in Japan. The World Ju-Jitsu Federation (WJJF) represents the culmination of 40 years Ju-Jitsu and general martial art experience. The WJJF was founded in 1976 Chief International Technical Director, Soke Robert Clark.
The Australian branch of the World Ju-Jitsu Federation founded in Sydney in 2003 by WJJF National Coach & Vice President Alan Campbell who was a personal student of the late Soke Robert Clark.
The WJJF AU are totally committed to the art of Ju-Jitsu and its continuing technical development. We are an advocate of teaching Ju-Jitsu to anyone willing to learn, whether it is through school training programs, corporate courses, special needs programs or early childhood development.
From our unrivalled instructional techniques and excellent facilities, to our thorough understanding of your individual training requirements, we are commited to offering the perfect environment in which you can learn the ancient art of Ju-Jitsu. Whether you are looking to improve your martial skills, seeking a truly effective self defence system, or trying to increase your awareness, self confidence and physical fitness, we can meet your needs.
At the World Ju-Jitsu Federation Australia, we not only seek to inspire this level of commitment in our students, but also strive to perfect the service we provide.
What is its main use?
Ju-Jitsu is used as a psychomotor, self-defense from any kind of menacing situation whether armed or hand-to-hand, as a method of socializing and as a means to become aware of one’s own limits.

Ju-Jitsu is particularly suitable for children, that can begin to attend courses with a study program designed specifically for them (ages 5 and up).
At what age is one considered Senior?
The passage from Junior to Senior is at the age of 17.
Can Ju-Jitsu be practiced by women?
Ju-Jitsu is directed at the female world in a specific manner, attested to by the hundreds of anti-aggression and anti-rape techniques in our programs.
Is Ju-Jistu suitable for older people?
Ju-Jitsu is most useful for older people because it stimulates the memory and reactivates every part of the body, of course, if one is in generally good health.
Is it possible to combine it with other disciplines?
Certainly. Ju-Jitsu is compatible with other disciplines, whether martial arts or of another kind, as a complement to or the completing of one’s physical activity or knowledge.
