At this level, students are expected to perform techniques with greater confidence, precision, and control while demonstrating a deeper understanding of timing, balance, and tactical decision-making.
Training focuses on refining standing techniques, improving transitions between throwing and groundwork, and introducing fundamental joint-lock concepts. Students continue to develop stronger movement, technical consistency, and the ability to apply techniques effectively in randori.
