THE BUDOKAN Backwell JUDO CLUB - Grading

The grading syllabus as laid down by The Kyu Shin Kai is intended as a framework of study to be used as a guide by both instructors and students.

When following this syllabus, it is freely recognised that the same technique practised by different individuals may vary, in both form and application, in accordance with many factors, while not detracting from the basic principles of Kyu Shin Do.

Whereas technical proficiency forms the basis of the grading examination, other factos such as effort, enthusiasm and attitude are also considered. Promotion through the grades is therefore structured around a student fulfilling his or her potential rather than as a fixed standard of ability to be achieved.

Ability in contest is also recognised by the grading system, particularly at advanced grade level, but is not a prerequisite to promotion. Indeed it is recognised that individual students practice judo for a variety of different reasons, and progress through the higher rankings can reflect this diversity. In other words if, at advanced level, students choose to concentrate their study on a particular aspect of judo such as kata, competition judo, coaching or self defence, then they can be awarded grades accordingly.
