National Teacher Re-Certification
Taking a teacher re-certification in judo serves several purposes, aligning with the broader goals of ensuring quality instruction, safety, and the proper transmission of skills.
Expertise and Competence: USJF Teacher re-certification ensures that individuals have a comprehensive understanding of the principles, techniques, and philosophies of judo. Our re-certification program covers both practical skills and theoretical knowledge.
Ethics and Values: The USJF places a strong emphasis on respect, discipline, and ethical conduct. Teacher re-certification includes components that focuses on instilling these values in students, teaching them not just the physical aspects of judo but also its philosophical foundations.
Continuous Improvement: USJF Teacher Re-Certification is not just a one-time achievement but often involves ongoing professional development. We encourage instructors to stay updated on new developments in judo, teaching methodologies, and safety standards.
