Historic Milestone for University Sport!

For the first time, Ju-Jitsu / Jiu-Jitsu was featured in an official FISU event, marking a significant step forward for the sport within the global university sports movement.

Recognized by FISU since 2020, JJIF’s university sport activities were initially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2025, JJIF successfully reactivated its university sport program through the FISU-endorsed World University Ju-Jitsu Series, with events hosted in Colombia and Thailand.

Event Highlights:
• 48 athletes
• 9 countries
• 3 continents represented
• 16 medal events in Jiu-Jitsu
• Competition held across two belt divisions, providing opportunities for athletes of different experience levels
• Outstanding technical standard demonstrated throughout the competition

This successful debut reflects the growing global presence of Ju-Jitsu in university sport and paves the way for future development within the FISU framework.
