history

Kanji 独 柔 術 連 盟 with the meaning of the German Jiu Jitsu Association

Under the martial arts and intellectual leadership of the grandmaster Hans-Gert Niederstein (honorary title Hanshi , 10th Dan Jiu Jitsu and 2nd Dan Judo ), the German Jiu Jitsu Association was founded in January 1975 by members of the Korporation Internationaler Danträger eV (KID). Hans-Gert Niederstein became the first president and remained so until his death in 1985. In his will , he appointed Dieter Lösgen (honorary title Hanshi , 10th Dan Jiu Jitsu and 1st Dan Judo) as his successor for life. In 2018, Dieter Lösgen handed over his offices to Josef Djakovic (honorary title Hanshi , 9th Dan Jiu Jitsu and 2nd Dan Jiudo), who until then held the position of chairman. In the same context, Dieter Lösgen was appointed honorary president of the DJJB and the KID. Since January 2018 Josef Djakovic has been president and chairman of the DJJB and KID as well as national coach.

Meaning of the Kanji

The Kanji 独 柔 術 連 盟 on the coat of arms of the German Jiu Jitsu Association have the following meaning and pronunciation:

  • the Kanji 独 is spoken documentary and has the meaning "Germany",
  • the Kanji 柔 術 are spoken Jūjūtsu and mean "Jiu Jitsu" or "Gentle Art" and
  • the Kanji 連 盟 are spoken Renmei and mean "covenant".

In Japanese, the German Jiu Jitsu Association is read as "Doku Jūjūtsu Renmei" .

Graduations in the DJJB

The graduation or ability in Jiu Jitsu is clear at the DJJB by the color of the belt. Every Jiu Jitsuka starts with a white belt and undergoes a belt test with a fixed test program in order to get to the next higher belt.

The examination program of the DJJB is specified by the KID, and examinations may only be taken by examiners with a valid examiner license. For a belt exam, the minimum preparation time for student grades and 1st Dan is six months. For the master’s degrees, the preparation time increases depending on the desired Dan degree: for the 2nd Dan the preparation time is at least two years, for the 3rd Dan at least three years, etc.

The belt colors of the student grades in Jiu Jitsu

The belt exams of the students ( Mudansha , Kanji 無 段 者 , literally "Person without Dan" ) - up to and including the brown belt 2nd strip (2nd Kyu degree) - are taken by at least two teachers with a valid examiner license in the home association. The examination of the prospective Dan wearers (Japanese Yūdansha , Kanji 有 段 者 , literally "Person with Dan" ) for the brown belt 3rd strip (1st Kyu degree) is the first exam that takes place before the examination committee of the German Jiu Jitsu Federation and the Corporation of International Dan wearers , the so-called Dan College .

The aspirant is registered by his master for the examination in front of the Dan college and is admitted to the examination after successfully completing a Dan preparatory course . In contrast to the Kyu exam, the Dan exam not only requires technical preparation, but also a Kata demonstration and theoretical elaboration. The fifth dan exam is the last - technical - exam that can be taken before the dan college. Further graduations are awarded by the President for exceptional achievements in or for the association.

Examiner license

The introduction of an examiner license in the German Jiu Jitsu Federation is a supplement to maintain and improve quality. The examiner license of a Dan carrier is extended by two years by attending a Kata, Dan and examiner license course every year. An annually updated list of Yūdansha examiners (Danträger) can be found on the homepage of the DJJB - by the DJJB examiner Bernd Kampmann (honorary title Renshi , 6th Dan Jiu Jitsu, 1st Dan Judo and 1st Dan Taekwon-Do).

Student degrees - Kyu degrees

In the German Jiu Jitsu Association there are nine student grades ( Kyū grades ) instead of six as in other associations , due to the fanning out of the brown belt . This subdivision serves to better prepare the Mudansha (kyu degree bearers) for the black belt:

Kyu 9. Kyu 8. Kyu 7. Kyu 6. Kyu 5. Kyu 4. Kyu 3. Kyu 2. Kyu 1. Kyu
Belt image White belt Yellow belt Orange belt Green belt Blue belt Brown belt Brown belt with a red stripe Brown belt with two red stripes Brown belt with three red stripes
Belt color White yellow orange green blue brown brown  | a brown  || b brown  ||| c
a with 1st red stripes
b with 2nd red stripes
c with 3rd red stripes

Master Degrees - Dan Degrees

The belt colors of the master degrees in Jiu Jitsu

The division into ten master degrees ( Dan degrees ) is common in Japanese martial arts or martial arts. The high grades in the DJJB are held by a few extraordinary masters and only the honorary president Dieter Lösgen has the highest graduation - the 10th Dan.

Dan degree 1st Dan 2nd Dan 3rd Dan 4th Dan 5th Dan 6th Dan 7th Dan 8th Dan 9th Dan 10th Dan
Belt image Black belt Black belt Black belt Black belt Black belt Red and white belt Red and white belt Red and white belt Red belt Red belt

Jiu Jitsu championships

German Jiu Jitsu Championships have been held every two years at the DJJB since 1998 . Initially, the DJJB stuck to traditional and real self-defense without competitions, based on the risk that essential content - possibly the spirit of the martial art Jiu Jitsu as such - could be lost through the competition:

“The striving for external, measurable success would have priority, and above that the striving for inner, spiritual perfection would be neglected or completely forgotten. Those who only practice with the aim of defeating others in competition take the easy route and overlook the fact that it is harder and more valuable to defeat oneself. "

For this reason, the DJJB decided on a form of competition that aims at the technical comparison of the competitors (as opposed to the physical comparison) . This takes place in five forms of competition, which are divided according to age and belt grade or weight.

Forms of competition

  • Random Attack - Individual Championship; Defense techniques show against a random attack out of 40 possible attacks.
  • Pairs - pair championship; Presentation of a rehearsed two-minute sequence of realistic attacks and defense techniques.
  • Team - team championship; a team with a maximum of twelve participants shows a five-minute artistic show demonstration.
  • Jiu Jitsu Kata - Pair Championship; Form run of the Jiu-Jitsu-Katas of the DJJB depending on the belt grade.
Two ground fighters in action
  • Ground Fight - Individual Championship; Form of competition similar to the Gracie Jiu Jitsu ground fighting system ; at the German Jiu-Jitsu Championships in 2008 for the first time.
