Leute gucken Euch interessiert beim Training zu? Ihr erzählt Freunden von Jugger, sie vergessen aber zu schnell, was das nochmal gewesen ist?

Um Interessierten etwas in die Hand drücken zu können, mit dem sie sich schnell und einfach über Jugger informieren können, habe ich 4-seitige Visitenkarten gemacht: Sie lassen sich einfach einstecken, verknicken nicht so leicht und nehmen keinen Platz weg. Trotzdem bieten sie viel Information.
Die vorliegenden Versionen habe ich für die Jugger-Gemeinschaft angepasst.

Unsure about how to get a Jugger team going at your place? Don't worry-- help is on it's way!

Uhus Tutorials has just published a condensed video about the  basics of founding a Jugger group, with recommendations on how to find new players, make spars, get in touch with the  world's Jugger community and much more. Watch it on YouTube and visit our "How to Start" checklist at the  IJB.

Germany has been the very first country where Jugger has evolved into real-world sports. Yet until today, there is no assocation of any kind which would stand for Jugger in Germany; instead, we have the rulekeeper comittee, a Jugger League council, local league councils, and the German forums. 

Recently, the discussions from 2011 about whether or not to form an association has come up again, accompanied by a survey, and kindled -- finally -- the forming of a national association. Nothing is set yet, but talks are intensifying.

The International Jugger Council, a recently formed body with representatives from many Jugger countries, has now published their website. Visit it to get help and information about international Jugger questions, and to gain access to the Council's Discord Server; it is not only for council members, but open to everyone to chat about international Jugger topics!

The history of the sports of Jugger is quite interesting. It started in two areas of Germany independently around 1993, as far as we know.  The two branches had their differences, which then fruited the first communal rulebook in 2007. Arund 1992, there has been an US LARP version, but that didn't seem to take hold. 

Lester, the founder of the Berlin branch, has done a nice poster about the Jugger timeline (see this IJB article). Uhu published interviews with "first Juggers" in his second Jugger book, albeit in German. Uhu also discusses the history of Jugger in this Uhus Jugger Tutorials (at 14:06).

The Jugger Rulebooks Archive also sheds some light on the development of this sports. Maximilian did a nice timeline of Jugger books illustration there:
