The United States Judo Federation (USJF) Recommendation for Promotion form is a detailed document designed to meticulously catalog the progression and achievements of judo practitioners aspiring for promotion within the federation. This form encompasses a wide array of components that highlight an individual’s judo journey, starting from personal information, judo affiliations, and detailed shiai (competition) records to kata proficiency, educational history, and endorsements by yudanshakai (judo organizations). It meticulously records awards, championships, and contributions that a judoka has earned over their career. The form also features sections on the reduction of time-in-grade by contribution, illustrating how active involvement in the judo community can accelerate promotion timelines. These reductions acknowledge the diverse roles within the judo community, from coaching and refereeing to technical support staff and kata judging, underlining the holistic approach the USJF adopts towards recognizing the varied contributions of its members. This multifaceted document is a testament to the comprehensive evaluation process employed by the USJF, ensuring that promotions are not only merited by competitive success but also by contributions to the sport, technical knowledge, and a commitment to personal development and teaching.
