Grading Syllabus


The Ottawa Judo Club uses a modified form of the Judo Canada grading syllabus. The Judo Canada standards themselves are a modification of the traditional Kodokan Judo grading criteria, modified based on principles in the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model.

The grading syllabus syllabus describes the pre-requisites, a list of techniques to be demonstrated, and physical fitness goals for each belt level. It is highly recommended that all OJC judoka download and study the syllabus prior to their grading tests.
