USJJF OFFICIAL MANUAL - US JU-JITSU ® RANK REQUIREMENTS
Technical Excellence in Martial Arts training is one of USJJF's top priorities. As Leaders in the Martial Arts, it is our sacred responsibility to ensure that all of our students receive the best possible "Mentoring" both in technique and philosophy of the Martial Arts.
Martial Art Training is the cornerstone of knowledge and the basis for credible self-defense skill and the perfection of human character. Training in a comprehensive taxonomy of Ju-Jitsu Skills is the "Key" by which the USJJF’s Members develop their Martial Art Proficiency and exercise the collective capabilities required in self-defense or competition. Martial Art Training builds Character Development and, when necessary, prepares the Ju-Jitsuka to "Win" if or when confrontation (or combat) cannot be avoided.
While Senior Yudansha determine the direction and goals of training, it is the Dojo Sensei (& Assistant Sensei) who ensure that every training activity or class is well planned and rigorously conducted. These Rank Requirements are designed to guide and assist the Sensei to accomplish his or her goals in teaching the UNITED STATES JU-JITSU ® system.
The United States Ju-Jitsu Federation (USJJF) ®, along with the Panamerican Jiu-Jitsu Federation (PJJF), World Ju-Jitsu Association (WJJA) & Martial Arts International Federation (MAIF), have established the training doctrine & guidance. The Dojo Sensei should apply these guidelines and assist the USJJF Leadership in the further development & conduct of UNITED STATES JU-JITSU ® Training.
These USJJF Rank Requirements provide the training & promotion guidelines for USJJF Sensei & students in the areas of martial art history, traditions, techniques, strategy & terminology. From these Rank Requirements, the USJJF will formulate and publish a comprehensive training manual and videos for the US JU-JITSU ® System.
Note - This Manual compliments the USJJF Books, "Examination Requirements"..!! This Manual provides the Sensei or Student with the "Details" of USJJ Rank Requirements, while the Books provide Excellent Illustrations of the Required Skills for USJJ Certification & Promotion..
