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.

International
travel to JA events in the United States JA staff advises anyone
who may need a visa to attend a JA event in the United States to apply early.
Visa applicants should apply at least 3 months in advance of the event. Security-related
policies have greatly increased the processing time for visa applications. U.S.
consular officers now usually interview applicants as part of the application
process.
If you need a letter of invitation, e-mail Eric Renner,
1st Vice President, to make your request (ekr5@mindspring.com).
General information about visas: The State
Department maintains a Web site about U.S. visa policy and procedures: http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/

visas if they do not have machine-readable passports and they wish to visit the
U.S. One-time exemptions are no longer available to VWP nationals who do not possess
