Will my Ju-Jitsu rank be recognized by the AJA?
The AJA reviews all applications very carefully. Certificates of rank are verified for authenticity regardless of the language they are written in. There’s a great deal of cooperation between the major Ju-Jitsu organizations in the U.S. as well as international cooperation in this area. Applicants with an unfamiliar ryu must also submit belt rank requirements for all Kyu and Dan grades of their ryu, as well as other data that may be required by the Board of Directors. If everything checks out, which it usually does, the AJA will grant recognition of your dojo. You may then request the AJA to issue a Certificate of Rank for your existing Yudansha grade.
