Very useful and interesting. Thanks. Is It the same for people who began Judo in their '30?❤😅

I never had a belt test actually. I live in California, which has a different way of doing things than Canada. That may have a part to do with it. I got my yellow belt a day after a competition I had in Orange County. I got my green belt, and I guess I skipped the orange belt entirely after a different competition in Sacramento I believe, but my knee was injured, so I had to take 3 weeks off from class. I received my green belt on the day I felt good enough to continue Judo class as usual. I was surprised, because I was just a yellow belt, and I hadn't anticipated getting an orange belt let alone a green belt at all. I felt so happy, and I thanked my sensei so much that day. I'm currently working hard to go further beyond, but I don't really pay attention to belts, and I just rather become the best Judoka that I can. I might become a black belt someday, but that's not necessarily my goal.

awesome stuff Katy,

Missed the party on this one but it’s something I think about. I’m a year into BJJ and still a little unused to the lack of testing for belts/stripes. I think you can often use time on the mat as a proxy but everyone progresses at different rates. The biggest challenge with testing for BJJ would be distilling the core techniques that ^should^ be on the exam, since there’s so many variations and techniques and ways to adapt tactics to your own strengths and weaknesses. Moreover there’s little standardization of ukemi in BJJ compared to Aikido or Judo, so if you go to ‘demonstrate’ a technique, how it ‘looks’ could really depend on who you’re working with.

Huge respect I wanna learn from you

Very nice details, awesome.

Ciao io mi presento sono Alessio stagni piacere di conoscerti

100% should be some sort of grading rubric

Excellent video. Subscribed. So thirty seconds kb swings, rest thirty seconds and go again? Do you do any other kb exercises?

Love this! BJJ competitor here who just started judo… I hit an ippon seoi today in a BJJ competition and almost got my back taken 😂 so I’ll be working this sideways seoi now… thanks for posting! Just watched your breakdown too.

Did they change the system I thought it was 3 brown belts before the black belt

Judo is better than BJJ.

For someone who’s hasn’t been involved with judo and is a senior citizen, how would one get involved and because judo is a lot of throwing techniques is it advisable to even start out?

Hello Kathy, can I ask something? Do/did you get nervous before you fight? Judo seems so skillful; is it possible to be a good competitor and fighting hard whilst being very calm? Kinda like how Fedor Emilenenko seems so calm when he fights (I know he's not a judoka but he's unusually calm as a fighter). Do you need lots of aggression as a judoka or is it possible to be good and completely calm (as it seems like such a tactical sport to me)

Fantastic 🥋

Sick seoi nages!

The last bit made me subscribe! lol Hreat technique and fun vibe.

Can we have a one on one private class ?

wow, you rock!

hey master Kathy , Are you open for a challenge , and do you do private classes one on one ?

where do I get a banner like this?

Im in black belt dan 2

One more thing, since comments at "Judo Techniques for Belt" are turned off, I will add here that I really enjoy the way you explain things (and presenting techniques of course)

This has to be one of the best secret channels for Judo/BJJ, I have no idea how I didn't find it before and you even had a few videos with Stephan Kesting. As a short guy dabbling with Judo/BJJ your videos seem like a big help.

Kathy, it's great to see you on here. Followed your CZcams videos for years..

Jiu-Jitsukas do in fact train Throws (Ippon) but they seem to be an after thought which is kinda fair considering they don't score much in BJJ and expend more energy.

In Australia jiu jitsu school i was going to the Instructor just levels up people on attendance. Its a cash $$$ grab. People get levelled up and i believe they dont even know enough of the curriculum yet. Thas why i like Judo testing better as you have to demonstrate each of the techniques. Plus you need competition points too so you know people have tested the art in competition.

I’m 53, male, and want to begin training in judo. I am healthy but not in as good of shape as I once was. Am I too old to learn judo? My goals are fitness, self defense and comradery. Thanks.

Why haven’t you made any new videos

Too much work.......

Im a 1st degree black belt in karate and we do have a grading system. However, i do recall getting a double promotion for a colour belt on two different grading exam. If i remember correctly, i believe it was due to me excelling in tournaments and emerging as a champion in many of them.

Very interesting "decor" in your dojo! Keepin it Country! Love your content!

Thanks for the information

That is a really great chart in the background and would be nice to have a copy to study.

Each person needed to demonstrate techniques and perform forms and some breaks that would become more difficult with each belt in TKD. The black belt test was graded by 3 masters that were flown in. But I suppose every school could be different.

This videos has a lot of info I’ve been searching for thank you

Thanks 🙏

Do you do any one on one bjj training classes ? I would to like to train with you , you’re such a cool stunt performer

you should offer 1v1 s , it’ll be up for a challenge against you

Great topic, awesome video 📹 I totally agree... Judo is very structured... Bjj not as much but slowly transitioning Love the channel

Yes, we do have testing requirements. I’ve been learning Karate since 2016 and I can confirm that we do have a grading syllabus. We must demonstrate all of our techniques, our kata, and our kumite (sparring) in order to pass. You will be assessed on your blocks, punches, kicks, stances ect. We try to build on previous techniques, making it easier to progress into the next grade. To simplify my answer, it’s a yes. We do have testing requirements in Karate and they are relevant up to 10th Dan (Highest possible grade of Black belt).

Most bjj schools don’t test for belts and instead promote based on overall skill, competition, randori success, etc. keep in mind that as with judo, bjj only had two belts at one time. I think testing actually makes worse grapplers than better.

❤❤ le prix❤❤❤

The many ways a big sister can squash her little brother!!😁😁❤️❤️

keep it up

Do you offer private classes master Kathy ?

My Wife Jannelle Wilkins is a 10th Degree Black Belt in Judo and Jiu Jitsu and is the Sensei of the Blue Blouse Jiu Jitsu Society.

I almost had you in the IBJJF Worlds tournament , it was great sparring with you Kathy !

Oh my god ! That’s me in 0:46 sparring with you ! 😂

Hey Kathy Hubble do you offer private sessions just a one on one training sparring because I have anxiety being around by lots of people . I would like train with you if you have a dojo
