<\/a><\/figure>\n\nAs an example, we detail here the 1st Dan exam.<\/strong><\/p>\n\nTechnical track :<\/em><\/p>\n\nThere are prerequisites for promotion. These depend on the number of “shiai<\/em> ” points obtained (official competitions), age and time elapsed since the brown belt grade.<\/p>\n\nThe prerequisites are knowledge of the timing rules, answers to 10 questions drawn at random from those established by the commission and the ability to fill in a double repechage table.<\/p>\n\n
Competition :<\/em><\/p>\n\nThe prerequisites here are different. The aspirant will be at least 15 years old at the time of the grade and must be recognized as an “A” athlete by the Sports Unit.<\/p>\n\n
The examination itself is then common to both routes. First, the candidate presents kata (here, those from the first three groups of Nage-No-Kata<\/em>) as Tori <\/em>(the one performing the exercise) and Uke<\/em> (the one undergoing the exercise).<\/p>\n\nThe aspirant then presents Nage-Waza<\/em> techniques in Uchi-komi<\/em> and Nage-Komi<\/em>, as well as 6 techniques<\/strong> from the first two Kyu of the Gokyo<\/em> (Judo’s set of 40 throwing techniques).<\/p>\n\nFinally, the exam concludes with Katame-Waza<\/em> techniques, i.e. the execution of the fundamental movements<\/strong> and two of their variants.<\/p>\n\nFrom the 6th Dan upwards, examinations will focus more on the presentation and demonstration of techniques, with an emphasis on the pedagogical aspect, as well as on merit criteria for the valorization of Judo<\/strong>, its culture or sporting achievements.<\/p>\n\nEven if passing a grade in judo can seem daunting and intimidating, our teachers are friendly and always put you at ease. A grade is always an achievement and a reward for hard work and effort. But let’s not forget that it’s never an end in itself, and that each grade is just another step in your knowledge of this beautiful martial art.<\/p>\n\n
