The 10th Jyu Kyu (White/Yellow Belt) is the first official promotion after the White Belt in the children's judo ranking system. This level recognizes that a student has successfully learned the basic principles of judo and is ready to build more confidence through structured training.
At this stage, students continue developing proper body movement, balance, coordination, and discipline while expanding their technical knowledge. Training emphasizes safe execution of fundamental techniques, correct posture, and understanding the core principles of throwing and groundwork.
To earn the 10th Jyu Kyu (White/Yellow Belt), students demonstrate proficiency in the following areas:
- Fundamentals of Standing Judo: Rei (bowing), Ukemi (breakfalls), Shisei (posture), Kuzushi (breaking balance), and Kumikata (gripping).
- Ashi Waza (Foot Techniques): O-uchi Gari.
- Koshi Waza (Hip Techniques): Uki Goshi.
- Fundamentals of Judo Groundwork (Ne Waza): Basic movement with uke in the face-down and all-fours positions.
- Katame Waza (Holding Techniques): Kesa Gatame.
These techniques establish the technical foundation required for future belt promotions and prepare students for more advanced throwing combinations, transitions, and groundwork.
At Dynamo Sports Center, every student progresses through a structured curriculum that follows clear learning objectives for each belt level. Students are evaluated on technical ability, safety, discipline, effort, attendance, and overall understanding of judo principles before advancing to the next rank.
The 10th Jyu Kyu (White/Yellow Belt) represents an important milestone in a young judoka's development, demonstrating consistent progress, growing confidence, and readiness for the next stage of training.
