From 1988 until 1999 Henrik Stoldt was active both as Ju Jutsu tournament fighter and referee. From 1993 until 1995 he held the office of press spokesman of the National German Ju Jutsu Federation (DJJV). During this time he directed the first JJ instruction videos assisted by the Grand Masters Erich Reinhardt and Karl-Ludwig Tretau. In 2000 he acquired the Ju Jutsu Instructor’s B-licence.
Says Henrik Stoldt, “The most important thing is that you treat people fair who want to study Ju Jutsu. It is not an easy kind of martial arts. It takes years to reach a certain skill. However, there is no need to degrade those who go for the next level, as I have seen socalled “masters” do during belt exams. Any martial arts master should remember that he started as a beginner and that he remains a student all through his life.”
