Grading Information
\information Judo uses a progression system to promote participants who have attained specific skill and knowledge proficiencies. This progression is tracked using different colors of belts. The progression system is divided in two:
The Dan ranks include the 10 degrees of the Black belt: Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, Yondan, Godan, Rokudan, Shichidan, Hachidan, Kudan & Judan. These levels are designed to perfect judo techniques and to help develop the culture. The Dan ranks are defined in the Dan Grading Syllabus and are managed by the Provincial/Territorial Grading Boards as well as Judo Canada’s Grading Board.
See the NLJA List of Black Belts for currently registered Dan level judoka in Newfoundland & Labrador
