America 30th Annual Convention & JA Sport Jujitsu US National Championship
Tournament Presented at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Foster City, CA (near San

Plan
now for the Sport Jujitsu Tournament presented by Jujitsu America as
part of the Ultimate Internationals/Tiger Claw Elite Qualifiers Tournament Presented
at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California May 24, 2008
Good
sportsmanship and competitor safety are of prime concern in the development of
the Jujitsu America Sport Jujitsu Competition
Rules and format. Our aim is to promote a balanced and vigorous approach to
competition jujitsu that provides equal opportunity for competitors from various
martial arts backgrounds to succeed in this format, whether the competitors’
training focus may be in comprehensive and diverse martial arts such as jujitsu
or those martial arts specifically focused on one particular area, such as percussion
(striking and kicking), projections (throwing and takedowns), or grappling (matwork).
All interested competitors have an opportunity to succeed and are welcomed to
participate in the spirit of healthy, vigorous, and ethical competition above
all. Strong competition provides a healthy opportunity for participants to test
their skills and further their development physically, mentally, and culturally.
We aim to deliver a dynamic, balanced, safe, and fair competition format.
