USJJF's Culture Statement

For nearly fifty years, the principles of USJJF's culture have been the driving force behind our success.  USJJF's culture defines who we are, how we act and what we believe is the right way to conduct operations.  Our culture unities us as a national federation and motivates us to go even further.  As we work towards USJJF's future, our culture will continue to guide our actions, strengthen our reputation, and increase our resolve to meet our members' most vital JJ needs.

USJJF's culture is based on four guiding principles:

Integrity

*    Respect for ourselves, our collegues and our members embodies USJJF's high standard of ethics and promotes solid working relationships.

*​    Quality is exemplified  in the caliber of leaders in USJJF and the value of the important  programs and services we provide for our members.

*    Accountability is our  promise to meet our obligations, our honesty to admit when we fall short and our determination to always do the right thing.

Commitment

*     Missions and members are USJJF's top focus, making us an enduring and trusted partner in addressing our national priorities for the American Ju-Jitsuka.

*    Leadership is how we set and communicate USJJF's direction and what makes us a recognized role model in our JJ community.

*    Opportunity
and recognition are  given to motivated members for professional development and contributions to the growth of the organization.

Distinction

*   Excellence is the recognized standard across USJJF, from student development to member opportunities.

*    Innovation is empowering our members to recognize opportunities, develop visionary ideas and create new solutions.

*    Entrepreneurship means anticipating our members' needs with dynamic new programs and opportunities.

Pride

*    Membership gratification comes from working within USJJF because our loyal team is honored to serve our country and stands behind the programs and services we develop.

*    Colleagues personify our motto - Committed to Excellence as USJJF teams of higly-skilled individuals develop their diverse talents and come together to succeed.

*    Communities are formed by lasting relationships with members and partner organizations as our members are active in improving our neighborhoods and supporting those who participate in our JJ community.
USJJF's success has been a direct result of these priniciples, both as a benchmark and as a roadmap.  We will continue to be EVER COMMITTED in all that we do because USJJF's culture is our treasured legacy and path to our future.
