United States Ju-Jitsu Federation ®
- Coach Certification Program -
The main reason for having certified coaches is to provide an educational program at the grass roots level and to train coaches in standard sports coaching methods. A coaching certification does not mean that you are an automatic "Team Coach" of the USA JU-JITSU ® / USA JIU-JITSU ® National Team or that the certification will lead to such an appointment.
Certifications are used to fulfill criteria for selection as a coach and certification is required in order to be permitted to coach at any Federation sanctioned event. Most importantly, the coach certification is evidence of your commitment to the highest standards of both sport & martial arts excellence too provide the best for your students & athletes.
Proper coaching methods initiated at the grass roots level will carry forward and help increase the USA status in the international competitive arena.
