Omar Ahmad, OTD, Ph.D who has received his 9th Dan in Judo, and 9th Dan in JuJitsu. To support a style of JuJitsu that is based in sound educational, philosophical, scientific and technical competence. The directors agree that Katamedo represents an evolving art form that incorporates techniques grounded in traditional Japanese JuJitsu but builds on these with advanced techniques developed and pro

ven in the modern mixed martial arts setting. The Katamedo style of JuJitsu has been developed from the years of practical experience and application of fighting and sporting principles that spring from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian and Western grappling philosophies. Practitioners are champions of judo, karate, freestyle, mixed martial arts and jujitsu, and expert instructors. The Board of Directors seeks the highest levels of accreditation, registration and instruction available. A practitioner of Katamedo JuJitsu will be able to compete equally in any grappling or mixed martial arts setting. Katamedo stresses that the principles of grappling are constant, as are the skills involved; it is the techniques of applying these skills that holds the potential for the progressive evolution of the sport. A great freestyle wrestler will be able to adapt to sport judo, jujitsu, sambo, capoeira or Greco-Roman wrestling, and vice versa. The principles of the arts are common, only the rules differ. As such, a JuJitsuka must also learn the principles and tenets of atemi waza, or striking, which are common to many traditional arts such as Karate, Jeet Kune Do, Tae Kwon Do, and Tang Soo Do. The most confident fighter is one who can compete on equal ground no matter what the rules. All principles and objectives are grounded in sound kinesiological, anatomical, neurological and occupational research and must be scientifically articulated to be accepted in the art. An art must be analyzed, proven and replicated so it can evolve into its safest, most effective and modern form. Every person has his or her own set of abilities and disabilities. Katamedo embraces practitioners of all abilities, races, religions and creeds. Katamedo believes that organized sports and occupations can assist in providing important values and habits that help to organize the individual and assisting him or her in everyday life. One may have a challenge in life like attention deficit disorder, depression, visual impairments or an amputation. These in themselves do not preclude performance. They may initially impede performance, but in the end, the diversity and richness that these individuals provide improves themselves and all others involved. Philosophy:
Katamedo JuJitsu is based upon the following five principles:
1. Learning by Performance
3. Balance
4. Performance Organizes Behavior
