Each year, the University of Sheffield Judo runs a kyu grade tournament at our sports centre. We see a variety of players from beginners and low grades to those with a number of years experience and fighting for dan grade (black belt) points.

Categories

• Orange belt and under

• Green and blue belts

• Brown belts (point scoring)

What to bring

There are usually a number of players for whom this is their first experience of competition. For you, here's a quick checklist of stuff you'll want to bring with you:

• Clean white JudoGi.

• A valid full licence (recreational licences are not acceptable for competition).

• Zori/shoes to wear while off the mat.

• Blue and white belts.

• Water and food.

• Enthusiasm and a friendly smile!
