In September 1955, under the leadership of Lt. Col. Lukban with the support of Mr. Antonio Delas Alas, PAJA was recognized by the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (PAAF) and the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). | In 1954 Lieutenant Colonel Jose G.

In 2003, the original name PAJA was renamed All-Philippine Judo Federation. The new name was patterned from the All-Japan Judo Federation, but the Japanese judokas actually meant “all the judo federations / club in Japan. This renaming caused some division to its meaning. The 2003 approved name was not used after that. Although incorrect, the title PAJA continued to be used until 2008. In December 2008, the term “All” was dropped and the official title of the governing body of Judo in the Philippines became simply, Philippine Judo Federation (PJF). The official title of the governing body of Judo in the Philippines, the Philippine Judo Federation, was accepted by the Philippine Olympic Committee, Philippine Sports Commission and appears on the websites of the International Judo Federation and the Judo Union of Asia. | |||
