Season Greetings 2014 and letter from the WJJC President to WJJC Founders and Members regarding the present status of the WJJC development and future progress possibilities Dear WJJC Founder and Member, Short overview of WJJC Creation and Structure It is now about one and a half year since we created and founded the WJJC at a meeting in Casteggio, Italy, on 30th July 2013. We, the interim leadership of the WJJC, myself, Spartaco Bertoletti, Bruce Bethers and Gianfranco Camerini have worked intensively during the past time from the creation of our Confederation for building the basic administration and having the administrative routines for creating a strong foundation for the future development of the WJJC. One of the very important achievements for the WJJC is the membership of TAFISA (The International Federation for Sports for All, which is recognized by the International Olympic Committee). The TAFISA membership for WJJC was obtained during the TAFISA Congress in the Netherlands, autumn 2013. Today already 13 prominent and well known Martial Arts leaders all over the world have confirmed their interest in the WJJC and decided to come together as the WJJC Founders. They have all signed the WJJC Founders’ Declaration and confirmed their real interest by paying the WJJC Founder’s contribution. We have also two more international leaders, who have expressed their interest to be Founders. The Founders are the base of the WJJC, so this loyalty and showed interest in the WJJC future development makes me really happy! Let us now all Founders and Members work and achieve our WJJC visions and goals together! The Founders of the WJJC are individuals with a serious and impressive background in Jujitsu and similar Martial Arts. The Founders will have 5 votes each at the WJJC General Assembly and are also welcome to all WJJC activities free of participation fees. We will also issue a special WJJC Founders’ Diploma. The Founders are singular persons, representing themselves and not necessarily any organization or group. The Founders will also have a decisive impact on the leadership of our new world confederation as advisors with real possibilities of making concrete organizational as well as policy and development proposals for the benefit of our common WJJC - Jujitsu for All! Let me shortly again repeat what you as a WJJC Founder have signed in the last sentence of your Founders’ declaration: -----“We, the undersigned Founders of WJJC, World Jiu Jistu - Jujitsu for All, have founded a new Global and International Sport Federation, the World Jiu Jitsu Confederation, with the ultimate aim and goal to contribute to the general development of real serious Martial Art and also to be an integrated part of the international sports community. The WJJC will be legally incorporated and registered under the name of World Jiu Jitsu Confederation in a suitable city and country, following the legal framework of the specifically chosen country. WJJC will also have the vision of achieving its goal of being an essential part of the international sports movement, but maintaining the real moral and cultural values of serious Budo and Martial Arts.”----- I am now really looking forward to hearing from you all as soon s possible and to get your ideas what is important for our further and future development! Let us now work and achieve our WJJC goals together! Plans for future Activities During the coming year 2015 our main WJJC objectives and goals are to create a new web site. Membership expansion is also a priority goal. Other important projects are to organize a first main WJJC event, consisting of both the 1st WJJC Congress and General Assembly, a training camp and seminars and also a competition. As our members are using various different competition rules, we could organize a WJJC Championship with different categories and rules. We should also remember that the WJJC is a Confederation, which means that our members are organizing a lot separate activities during the year. Naturally it should be good if those activities are open for all our different members to take part in. List of WJJC Founders The following persons are listed as WJJC Founders and have all but two contributed to the creation and foundation of the WJJC with a once for ever supporting fee of EUR 600:-. The WJJC has also additionally some potential Founders, which have signed the Founders’ Interest Declaration and Founders’ Form, but not yet paid the contribution fee.
