JBIF
what is required for JBIF to recognize your MARTIAL ART stylE?
As an international organization whose goal is the preservation and promotion of traditional Japanese budo arts, JBIF tries to recognize new styles that are conceived and based on the foundations of traditional budo styles and schools.
Yudansha holders with many years of experience in multiple martial arts and with high ranks in at least 3 martial arts (minimum 5.DAN degree in all 3 arts). Also, the minimum age of practicing martial arts is 25. Yudansha holder should have minimum RENSHI or SHIHAN title given by respected Japanese Budo organization.
Recommendations of high-ranking masters who have a good reputation are also taken into account.
All new martial arts that wish to be recognized by the JBIF organization must adhere to traditional codes of conduct and etiquette.
JBIF does not recognize styles that are modern and pro-Western. Exclusive styles based on tradition and styles that respect the tradition of old Japanese styles.
JBIF, through its AJBA Academy company, registered for the domain of education and training in the field of sports and recreation where martial arts belong (and also through partnerships with various universities with which
AJBA Academy and JBIF have signed contracts), legally registers new styles of Budo.
A book of registered styles is kept in Japan and the JBIF archive.
