USAJJ OFFICIAL MANUAL - USA JIU-JITSU RANK REQUIREMENTS
The United States Ju-Jitsu Federation(USJJF) along with the North American Jiu-Jitsu Union (NAJJU), Panamerican Jiu-Jitsu Federation (PJJF), World Ju-Jitsu Association (WJJA) and World Kobudo Federation (WKF). have established the training doctrine & guidance. The Dojo Sensei or Academy Professor should apply these guidelines and assist the USJJF Leadership in the further development & conduct of USAJJ Training. These USAJJ ® Rank Requirements provide the training & promotion guidelines for USJJF teachers & 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 for the USAJJ ® System.
Our duty as USJJF Leaders is to provide challenging and realistic Martial Arts Training for all of our Members. The National Federation will do its part, and I encourage all USJJF Sensei involved in BJJ or Grappling Focused Jiu-Jitsu to study, understand, and teach the techniques, as well as the Budo Philosophy presented in this manual and on the USJJF Official Website. USJJF Sensei involved in the Grappling Focused Jiu-Jitsu must redouble their commitment to accurate & comprehensive USAJJ ® training, remembering, that Technical Excellence is a "Top Priority" in the United States Ju-Jitsu Federation.
We express our most sincere respect to the memory of Hanshi George E. Anderson, our Federation’s Founder, for his extensive contributions thru-out his life in helping to produce this USA JIU-JITSU ® Rank System. We also recognize and give thanks to Sensei Brian Walsh and other members of the USAJJ (BJJ - Grappling) Committee for all their technical input on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helping to produce the USAJJ ® Training Curriculum and Rank System. And in closing, we also express our sincere thanks to all Members of our USJJF Technical Committee for their input and support in producing this most comprehensive GRAPPLING FOCUSED JIU-JITSU training guide.
