USJF Kata Development and Certification Sub-Committee
The purpose of the USJF Kata Development and Certification Subcommittee is to introduce Dr Kano’s Kodokan Kata to everyone including yudanshakai, shiai players, seniors and juniors.
The USJF Kata Development and Certification Subcommittee provides training and certification for those who wish to become kata teachers and shiai coaches. Also we provide training for those seeking to fulfill USJF promotion requirements for kata knowledge. Once a judoka passes a USJF kata certification test, the student does not have to demonstrate that kata during their promotion test. A class A, B, or C certification will be sufficient for that particular kata for any promotion requirement.
