Governing Body for Ju Jitsu and Related Martial Arts

Recognised by the Australian Government through the Australian Sports Commission

Member of the Ju Jitsu International Federation

Providing representation throughout Australia since 2000 the Australian Ju Jitsu Federation (AJF) is actually a federation of member schools or organisations that include jujitsu and related martial arts:

This website provides an overview of the role of the AJF, plus information on the requirements and benefits of membership; names and contacts for member schools; and names of all accredited coaches throughout Australia.

The AJF is no longer an Incorporated Association and is now a Public Company Limited by Guarantee (incorporated under the Companies Act C’th) registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and, as from 11 February 2025, we will be known as “Australian Ju Jitsu Federation Limited” with the Australian Company Number A.C.N. 684 400 673 but the A.B.N. remains the same as before which is A.B.N. 16 261 432 101.

As the National Sporting Organisation (NSO) the AJF recognises within its strategic objectives, accountability for the development and accreditation of coaches and officials in each of the martial arts represented.  This accountability is managed through the AJF’s National Coach and Official Accreditation Programs, embracing coaching and officiating at all levels.

If your school is not a member we would welcome the opportunity to discuss in more detail the benefits of membership and look forward to hearing from you. Member schools as part of a ‘Common Bond‘ sharing knowledge and event participation opportunities.

We value your feedback and comments and welcome questions on any facet of our operations, so please feel free to visit our Contact page. We are also keen to hear from ‘National Jujitsu Organisations’ in the Oceania and South Pacific Region.

Once again, welcome to our website – Board of Directors
