USA-TKJ National Yudanshakai

---

The below listed individuals are CERTIFIED BLACK BELTS with the United States of America Traditional Kodokan Judo (USA-TKJ) ®. Although the USA-TKJ has black belt members from other organizations, only the below listed black belts have their rank certified by USA-TKJ. 

If you are a Judoka and would like to have your rank certified by the USA-TKJ, you may do so by completing the below requirements. For Membership Information - Click Here..!!

Important Notice: It has been recently brought to the attention of the National Headquarters that there are individuals who are fraudulently or mistakenly claiming to hold USA-TKJ rank certification. Unless the person claiming this rank is in possession of an actual USA-TKJ rank certificate and their name is listed below (Dan level rank only), then their rank is not valid with the USA-TKJ. To report improper claims of USA-TKJ Yudansha or Mudansha grades or to further verify an individual’s rank, contact our National Headquarters at usatkjhqs@gmail.com.
