Dan Gradings: Post-Covid Guidelines

Following the safe return of judo, we can look forward to hosting Dan Gradings up and down the country.

We would first like to remind members of a few basic guidelines for considering booking onto a Dan Grading.

Participants in competitive Dan Gradings prior to the 31st October 2021 will have completed a minimum of ten hours training or six judo sessions in the period leading up to the Dan Grading.

Participants in competitive Dan Gradings prior to 31st October 2021 will be asked to sign a declaration when checking in stating that they have read the guidelines and that they are that they fit to compete.

Participants refusing to sign the declaration will take part at their own risk.

These guidelines do not apply to Technical Dan Gradings and Competitive Skills examinations.

Here are some upcoming Dan Gradings taking place in your area (subject to change at the organisers discretion):
