You just passed a belt at the club, and you are wondering where this information is recorded, how to find it, or how your instructor validates it online. The digital platform of France Judo, called the FFJDA extranet, centralizes the management of licenses, grades, and sports passports. Understanding how it works prevents data entry oversights and blocks during official grade promotions.
Named traceability on the FFJDA extranet: what it changes for your grades
Before the redesign of the extranet, several volunteers from the same club sometimes shared a common identifier. The entries for grades or licenses were not linked to a specific person, which could create confusion.
The new extranet operates on a different principle: one account corresponds to a single official email address, the one linked to your license. Every action (license validation, grade entry, competition registration) is tracked in the name of the person performing it.
Specifically, if the main instructor records your orange belt promotion, their name appears in the entry history. This traceability protects both the club and the licensee. In case of a dispute over a grade, there is a clear audit trail. For club leaders, this also means that they must access the FFJDA extranet for judo with their own credentials, never lending their access to a third party.
Logging into the France Judo extranet: resolving common blocks
Logging in goes through the My Account France Judo portal, accessible from the site ffjudo.com (button at the top right). Have you noticed that the system rejects your password even though you are sure you typed it correctly? Two common causes often arise.
Incorrect or outdated email address
The address used must be the one associated with your license, not the club’s generic address. If you have changed your email since your last registration, your old email remains the one referenced by the federation. You need to contact your club to update the license file before attempting to log in again.
Forgotten password and spam
The reset link sometimes ends up in the spam or junk folder. If you don’t receive anything after clicking on “Forgot Password,” check these folders before restarting the process. The link has a limited validity period: use it quickly after receiving it.
Two points to keep in mind:
- The club president and the main instructor have default access to the club space. They can then securely delegate administrative rights to other volunteers.
- Each profile (licensee, instructor, president) opens different functionalities. A licensee sees their own grades and passport, while an instructor can enter their students’ grades.
- Creating an account is possible directly from the portal for new licensees who have never had credentials.
Management of belts and grades in the extranet: entry and validation
You have just successfully passed a belt promotion at the dojo. What happens next in the extranet? The instructor logs into their club space, accesses the grade management module, and records your new grade with the date of the promotion.
The extranet centralizes grades, sports passports, and competition declarations in one interface. This architecture avoids juggling between multiple tools. The licensee’s digital sports passport updates automatically after the instructor enters the grade.
Kyu grades and dan grades: two distinct circuits
The colored belts (from white to brown, called kyu grades) are validated directly by the club instructor. The process remains internal: the instructor evaluates, then enters the grade in the extranet.
For dan grades (black belt and beyond), the circuit is different. The candidate appears before a specific commission, the CSDGE (Specialized Commission for Dan and Equivalent Grades). The extranet allows tracking the status of the application and verifying if the access conditions are met (seniority in the previous grade, competition participation according to the targeted grade).
Grade entry errors on the FFJDA extranet: how to correct them
A belt recorded with the wrong date, a grade assigned to the wrong licensee, a duplicate after a data migration: these situations occur, especially in clubs managing several dozen licensees.
Only the profile with administrative rights can modify a grade entry. If the error concerns a kyu grade, the main instructor or the club president can usually correct it directly from the management module. For a dan grade validated by the federal commission, correction requires contacting the departmental committee or regional league.
Some reflexes can help avoid these corrections:
- Check the name and license number of the judoka before each entry, especially when several namesakes exist in the club.
- Enter the grades in the days following the promotion, to avoid accumulating delays that favor errors.
- Use the video tutorials provided by the federation for each module of the extranet, accessible from the interface.
Managing belts on the FFJDA extranet requires a bit of rigor at first, but the centralization of data simplifies long-term tracking. A grade correctly entered today means a smooth dan promotion file in a few years.
