Kyu Grades

Kyu Grades +14yrs

The Kyu Grade system is a distinctive feature of judo with promotion to different coloured belts based on technical ability, knowledge and understanding as well as supplementary knowledge of Japanese terminology. Although there is no contest requirement in the British Judo Kyu Grade system there is a progressively structured randori element based on open skills.

The British Judo Kyu Grade system is aimed at judoka 14 years and older as well as those who are between 14 and 17 years of age who already hold a Mon Grade and are converting to the next grading scheme. With regular study and training, a judoka should be able to complete the Kyu Grade system in approximately 6-9 years. In some cases when the judoka is particularly dedicated they may complete the Kyu Grade system in 4-5 years.

There are 6 different grades contained within the Kyu system, which each grade requiring a different coloured belt. Judoka that have completed the Kyu Grade system are able to study and train for the coveted black belt.
