Preparing for yellow belt

Time for grading soon!

A bunch of our players have been training quite hard for a couple of months now. Some of them will soon be ready to do grading for their yellow belt.

We set quite a high standard at KL Judo and your yellow belt requirement is actually a lot tougher than in most clubs. We feel this is the right move. I want our players to be very technically sound so we won't just give out belts just for attendance. They need to know a decent number of throws, groundwork and Japanese terms to get their yellow belt.

Tomorrow, most of the players attending will be white belts so we will go through the entire syllabus and start getting them ready for their grading next month.

After they are done with that we'll proceed to randori. On Sundays, when are trainings are in the afternoon, we won't be doing randori during the fasting month. But on weekdays are trainings are in the evening after breaking of fast, so randori is fine. Our players are able to drink and rehydrate themselves.
