Welcome to the American Ju-Jitsu Association! We are delighted to learn of your interest in joining this venerable, over 50-year-old umbrella association of all Japanese Ju-Jitsu Ryu, no matter their origin.

Required Information and Supporting Documentation

  1. A photocopy or image of your most recent certificate of Yudansha rank in Ju-Jitsu.
  2. A summary of your belt rank requirements and/or teaching curriculum for your dojo. Note that there is no special format for this.
  3. A short (10 to 20-minute max) video demonstrating your style of Ju-Jitsu. This can be on DVDs or link to social media video. (NOTE: This video is not supposed to be a “how to” video. The intent here is to help the NSCB get a sense of what you teach.)
  4. A copy of the “Participant Release/Waiver” form that you use in your dojo. This is intended to protect you and the AJA from potential legal liability.
  5. A photo of yourself.  This may be used in the future on the AJA website if you should choose to accept an AJA staff responsibility.
