Frequently Asked Questions (Online Membership Registration)

Basic USJF Membership is $70 per year ($80 per year starting Sept 1, 2025). Your actual membership cost may vary depending on a variety
of factors.
- Can I renew my existing membership online?
Renewal is easiest through the
membership portal.
- I am a member through USJA or USA Judo. Can I still register online for secondary membership?
Due to the withdrawal by USA Judo from the American Judo Alliance Development and Cooperation Agreement (AJADCA),
as well as the open tournament agreement, secondary memberships are no longer available.
- Is my membership good for participation in any judo event?
Due to USA Judo's termination of the open tournament agreement, your USJF membership is no longer
acceptable to participate in a USA Judo sanctioned event. In turn, USA Judo membership is no longer

agreement that USJF membership will be accepted at USJA sanctioned events and USJA membership will
be accepted at USJF sanctioned events.
