The Alberta Jiu-Jitsu Association (AJJA) was founded in February 2002 to bring together traditional and modern stand-up Jiu-Jitsu (Ju-Jitsu) and other styles of Japanese self-defense arts across Alberta.

Our mission is to teach children, teens and adults practical effective self-defense to develop and train amateur and professional athletes of all ages in JuJitsu grappling and self-defense. The AJJA is the only recognized society in Alberta hosting annual municipal and provincial Japanese JuJitsu tournaments.

We are a registered non-profit society which is funded through membership fees, fundraising ventures, casinos, donations, sponsors and possible provincial grants. In 2003, AJJA became a Registered Charitable Organization under the Societies Act — for more information, or to make a donation, please contact one of our Directors.

Your annual membership fee listed below provides insurance coverage under our insurance policy; entitles you to attend all camps, tournaments and technical seminars; participate in any other events throughout the year, and; bring instruction for Black belts and school owners, and in some cases promotions, as deemed appropriate.
