Judo training places as great an emphasis on the cultivation of proper conduct as it does the martial art. PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SERIOUSLY 1. We bow to indicate our gratitude and mutual respect. It is common for people to ask about the practice of bowing in Judo. In particular, many people are concerned that bowing may have some religious significance. It does not. In Western culture, it is considered proper to shake hands when greeting someone for the first time, to say “please” when making a request and to say “thank-you” to express gratitude. In Japanese culture, bowing fulfills all these functions. Bowing is appropriate on the following occasions: (a) when entering and leaving the dojo (b) when stepping on or off the mat (c) at the beginning and end of class (d) when asking or thanking a partner for practice (e) after receiving special instructions from the sensei 2. The cleanliness of the mat and dojo are essential. Remove shoes upon entering and leave them neatly in the entrance way. Do not walk on the exterior surface or outside in bare feet. Make sure your feet are clean before stepping on the mat. 3. Be on time for class. If you are late, enter and go to the changeroom. Re-enter, sit on a corner of the mat until the instructor indicates you can join class. Bow to the instructor. 4. Remove all rings, earrings, watches, necklaces and bracelets before practice. 5. Personal hygiene is extremely important. Judo is a contact sport, students are expected to maintain good hygiene by: (a) coming to class with clean hands and feet (b) keeping finger and toe nails short and clean (c) keeping your training uniform clean, in good shape and free of offensive odour Occasionally people scrape their hands and feet during practice. The rule is that a student must stop participating long enough to cover with a bandage or tape any scrape or cut that is bleeding. 6. If you or someone else is hurt, tell the sensei at once. If you need to rest, request permission from the instructor. If you have a problem during practice, let your partner know. Do not leave the mat without the permission of your sensei. 7. Avoid leaning against the walls or sitting with your legs stretched out. Either sit in seiza or cross legged. Also, avoid sitting on the mat with your back to the sensei or any randori. 8. Profanity and bad language will NOT be tolerated. Please keep talking during class to a minimum and do not engage in roughhousing during class. What conversation there is should be restricted to one topic — JUDO. Excessive noise and rowdiness are distractions. Distractions can lead to injury and will not be tolerated.. 9. Do not bring food, gum or beverages with you on to the mats. 10. Judo is NOT a sport that should be practiced outside a dojo or a tournament. A person not trained in the sport of Judo can be seriously injured and should not be considered a partner for ANY techniques. PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com PHILOSOPHY The Constitution of the International Judo Federation states that the principles and philosophy of traditional Judo, as created by Dr. Jigaro Kano, shall be followed. JUDO - “ju” literally means softness and gentleness. A classic description of the meaning is as follows: “Like the willow tree which bends the fury of the tempest, so that at the end, its flexible branches remain unbroken, whereas the rigid oak tree is broken or uprooted.” Sometimes the principle is misunderstood as complete non-resistance. But it should be noted that the willow tree does use some strength, in that it keeps its roots firm — tai-sabaki. In Judo, force is not directly resisted, but there is an indirect resistance which is based on balance, skill and strategy — kaeshi-waza (countering techniques, etc...). “do” is interpreted as system, way, method, style, or profound belief. The sport of Judo’s objective is spiritual development, physical fitness, and self defense, plus unselfish regard for others, which is necessary in our modern life. Eventually all societies and nations can benefit from the ideals of Judo’s mottos — “Jita-Kyoei” - Mutual Benefit and “Seiryoku-Zenyo” – Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Effort. The majority of nations of the world now practice Judo and consequently it is presently an Olympic sport. PROMOTIONS In Judo, being a sport based on hierarchy, it is generally accepted that the various ranks be represented by belts of different colors. The Yudansha “dan” grades, Black Belts, are awarded according to the National rules (Grading Syllabus), adapted from the Rules of the International Judo Federation. The color grades are given by instructors. This task requires a certain ability to judge and evaluate to be performed properly. Women generally wear the same colored belts as men, with a white stripe the length of the belt. This distinction was initiated by the Kodokan so that women would be differentiated from the male competitors. But with the increasing number of women involved in national and international competition, the tradition of the white striped belt seems to be vanishing. The time requirements between promotions to different color belts is based on the following criteria: Physical fitness level, age, regular attendance at classes, frequency of classes per week, student-teacher ratio, facilitiesand equipment, and disposition of the student and well as knowledge of the basic belt requirements. JUDO RANKING Here is the list of the various ranks, and the corresponding belt color as it applies in Canada.

FOURTH SHIDO This is equal to a IPPON against them. HANSOKU-MAKE Very grave infringement. This is equal to an IPPON against them. If an outright Hansoku penalty is given… THEN THE PLAYER IS OUT OF THE COMPETITION FOR THE DAY. The penalty score builds up by Shido.
