In Judo, a grading session is an assessment conducted by qualified instructors to evaluate a students proficiency and skill level. Students showcase techniques such as throws and ground work, with requirements varying for each rank. Etiquette, respect, and understanding of Judo principles are also considered. The grading system involves progressing through colored belts, determined by the BJA. Successful completion leads to a higher rank and a new colored belt, marking milestones in a judoka's journey and recognising their dedication to Judo.
