National Teachers Institute

For nearly 70 years, the USJF National Teachers Institute has been designing and delivering professional instructional courses for the judo community nationwide.

We offer Certificates of Achievement in Teaching and Coaching designed for individuals who would like to continue and further their education in judo. The Certificate of Achievement is an acknowledgement of the extra effort put forth by our teachers and coaches to enhance the dojo or themselves, by continuing to improve their knowledge and skills in the sport.

In the National Teacher and Assistant Teacher Certification program we cover topics such as; Judo History, Judo Philosophy, Teaching Tools, Systematized Teaching systems, and Curriculum/Lesson Planning. Pathway toward being a Teaching Professional starts here.
