About The British Ju Jitsu Association National Governing Body
The British Ju Jitsu Association GB National Governing Body has been offering instruction and training in Ju-Jitsu since 1960. Later to become a Mandated Governing Body by UK Sports Council and recognised by Sport England. Located in Accrington, Lancashire, the British Ju Jitsu Association National Governing Body has produced champions in life as well as in the martial arts.
The British Ju-Jitsu Association was originally founded in 1956 by Soke James Blundell (22/12/21 to 13/11/89) and was later re-constituted in 1988. It included other affiliated Ju-Jitsu associations from around Great Britain. Together, these clubs and associations approached the British Sports Council (now the UK Sports Council) to establish a single Governing Body for the Martial Art of Ju-Jitsu in this country and as a result, since 1993, the BJJA became the British Ju-Jitsu Association Governing Body, or BJJAGB.
This Governing Body oversees all aspects of Ju-Jitsu in Great Britain such as, establishing codes of conduct, standard practises, competition formats and rules, arranging group insurance policies for clubs within the Association, and certification of teachers and competition referees as well as registration of new clubs.
Sports Coaching certification for Martial Arts instructors is backed by the National Coaching Foundation, known as "Sports Coach UK". It is through them that the BJJAGB is able to arrange for full Professional Indemnity insurance for all registered coaching instructors teaching Ju-Jitsu within the BJJAGB.
As the independent voice of UK sport, the Central Council of Physical Recreation (CCPR) is the umbrella organisation for the National Governing and Representative Bodies of sport and recreation in the UK. It speaks and acts to promote, protect and develop the interests of sport and physical recreation at all levels. The CCPR is at the forefront of sports politics, providing support and services to those who participate in and administer sport and recreation and is completely independent of any form of Government control. They have no responsibility for allocating funds and are strictly non-party and will support or oppose proposed measures only on the basis of their perceived value to sport and recreation.
