Juvenile Grading Syllabus

JUVENILE GRADING SYLLABUS

In order that the examiner is satisfied with the candidate’s performance the examiner may ask for techniques from a previous section. As a student progresses they may be asked to perform techniques both left and right handed as well as on the move. Students should be able to do all the techniques and understand Japanese terms from their own section to a reasonable standard.

Words marked with an asterisk (*) are Japanese terms as opposed to Judo techniques. A student will wear a red belt (7th Kyu) until they achieve their first grade where they will wear a white belt (6th Kyu) with the appropriate tabs.
