Since the TKD and HKD forums have a check in, I think we should have 1 too. Please say your belt level, how many years, and what style. I am Gaylen Zellner and I am starting Judo in January. Don't know what style.
I'm Timo, been doing judo for past 6 years now. 2nd kyu, but I dont really give emphasis on belts. We dont exactly have any "styles" around here, but we follow kodokan/ijf-path.
Checkin in My friends call me Shan, I have been doing Judo for 7 months now. (Its was a 10 year anniversary gift from my husband) I am a yellow belt. kinda old to start but I love love love it.
Different countries use different grades. For example, the BJA in the UK uses 1st/2nd kyu = brown, 3rd/4th kyu = blue, 5th/6th kyu = green, 7th/8th kyu = orange, 9th kyu = yellow.
Been doin it for about 3 years and am 15th mon (blue three stripes) in junior grades but have been in the senior class for about 1 1/2 years. Turn 16 soon and then i can grade in kyu. Anyone else here form samurai judo club in Swansea?
very new to the art Hey all, My name is Zachary and originally I wasn’t going to start Judo for another couple of months, but I could not wait. So right now I go to the judo class and one of the instructors are working with me on the side. I am loving the art. I am enjoying it even more the wrestling. The class only meets twice a week, but there are several students that work on everything on the side.
