Judo Grades, Belts, and Ranks

Grades

Because this is a physical education class attendence is a large part of the credit toward the final grade. Two unexcused absences are allowed before it begins to affect one's grade. Also, because courtesy and decorum are very important in Judo and are part of what unites Judo players around the world; and, because Judo is a combative sport, proper attitude is another large part of one's grade.


Belts and Ranking

Judo belts and ranks are awarded by the authority of the USJA (an internationally recognized organization thus your judo rank is good anywhere in the world). Points toward rank are gained by though training, tournaments, service and time in Judo. You must be a member of the United States Judo Association to attain Judo Rank but you do not have to be a USJA member to study Judo
at the SRJC.
