Ju Jitsu Sogndal

In Ju Jitsu Sogndal (JJS) we practice the martial art Ju Jitsu with a focus on self-defense. Ju Jitsu opens for a variety of different styles and we are following a style from the Ju Jitsu Norway (JJN) system that is inspired by the traditional Japanese art of self-defense. Ju means gentle/flexible or yielding, and Jitsu means art or technique. Ju Jitsu includes techniques such as strikes, kicks, throws, releases, takedowns, chokes and control holds.

Ju Jitsu builds body control, confidence, a sense of mastery, and strength – both in body and mind.

We train in the gym hall at Trudvang School. Before training, we usually sign up in a group chat to see how many are coming. If it’s your first time, feel free to contact us by phone, email, or Instagram first.

We will start training again in august after the summer break and we are recruiting new members!

Our grading system is based on the national grading system of Ju Jitsu Norge (JJN). Basic techniques and principles are from JJN and are shared across all grading levels, and it is important that you learn these well. Gradings take place at the end of a semester for those who have met the requirements to be assessed. It is important that you have trained regularly throughout the semester in order to be considered for grading.

Everyone starts as a white belt and can grade up to black belt. Reaching the black belt level requires years of consistent training, dedication, and a deep understanding of both technique and philosophy. The grades are as follows:
