NOTES
1. Randori is introduced for this grade. It is to be demonstrated in the form of light randori of approximately three minutes
duration. The examiner will expect to see a variety of waza and kumi-kata and, if possible, throws to both right and left
sides. Although there are no specified requirements the judoka should understand and observe the simple regulations
and terminology governing Randori, including the correct method for signalling submission.
2. For the personal choice element, the judoka may select any waza from the BJA Technical Grading Syllabus but it is
recommended that less advanced techniques are chosen at the stage.
Below are some images and words that may help you understand what is being described above so you can help your child learn the requirements for their next Judo belt.
the videos and information was fantastic and very helpful, thankyou.
it would also be really helpful if a translation for the terminology used
was displayed too.
I’ll see what I can do for extra translations
