Gradings
Grading overview
At Fleming Park Judo Club we usually offer the opportunity for everyone to grade three times a year, often in March, July and November.
This means that you can pass 3 SHO, MON or KYU grades in a 12 month period. We feel this allows players to progress at a steady pace and allows them to assimilate the new techniques/skills they learn and incorporate them into their judo.
However, players can grade outside of the club every calendar month up to 6th mon and every other calendar month for 6th mon and above.
Players taking up the sport at age 12 or older can “fast track” up to 6th mon in the first year of holding a BJA licence, i.e. grade 1st-3rd mon then 4th-6th mon over two gradings or any combination up to 6th mon in the 12 month period.
