British Judo Grading System
Club gradings are held at the dojo at regular intervals throughout the year, we run 3-4 gradings a year (usually on Sundays) and Judoka will be invited to grade typically between 1-3 times a year.
Judoka will be invited to grade when their coaches decide that they are ready for their next grade promotion; this decision is based on attendance, training attuide, improvements in randori and results in contest.
