Peace of Mind
When you or your child becomes a member of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), it covers your child with insurance in case of injury.
Best of all if your child plays another sport - they may already be a member of AAU, and then you just need to add Judo to their membership.
Bright and Clean
The pandemic has taught us all to be more diligent in how we clean up before and after ourselves. It is no different for our mats and equipment. They are cleaned before and after every class.
We are currently located at OC Johnson Elementary School Cafeteria. We would like to thank the Yuma School District for giving us the opportunity to continue to serve the Yuma community in our new home.
Challenge Yourself
All our clinics are designed to bring together members of various dojos for the purpose of broadening their experience of Judo and related topics.
Besides offering a wider range of instructors than is possible within the dojo setting, national, regional and local clinics and camps provide the opportunity to get to know members of the larger Judo community.
Why We Require AAU Membership
The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) has been raising champions for more than a century. Since it's inception in 1888, the AAU has set the standard to and for amateur sports in the US with one goal in mind: "Sports for All, Forever".
Yuma Territorial Judo club (AAU club number W38WC6) is a proud member of the AAU. All of our members are required to join AAU.
Description Title
We are a USJA-registered club. This allows our students to register their ranks with one of the major national judo organizations.
Becoming a member of USJA gives students an added layer of insurance and opens them up to additional possibilities including participation in tournaments.
Membership in USJA is optional for students, but is recommended if they are interested in competing.
