JUNIOR MON GRADE PROMOTION SYLLABUS
EFFECTIVE 1ST APRIL 2008
BRITISH JUDO ASSOCIATION
JUNIOR MON GRADE PROMOTION SYLLABUS
INTRODUCTION
This syllabus, effective from 1 April 2008, supersedes all previously
published syllabi. All previously taken theory
examinations for 7-18 Mon higher than the contest grade are no longer
valid.
Within the British Judo Association (BJA) there are 18 Mon grades.
The grades are indicated by the following coloured belts:
1st Mon Red + 1 Yellow Tag 10th Mon Green + 1 Red Tag
2nd Mon Red + 2 Yellow Tags 11th Mon Green + 2 Red Tags
3rd Mon Red + 3 Yellow Tags 12th Mon Green + 3 Red Tags
4th Mon Yellow + 1 Red Tag 13th Mon Blue + 1 Red Tag
5th Mon Yellow + 2 Red Tags 14th Mon Blue + 2 Red Tags
6th Mon Yellow + 3 Red Tags 15th Mon Blue + 3 Red Tags
7th Mon Orange + 1 Red Tag 16th Mon Brown + 1 Red Tag
8th Mon Orange + 2 Red Tags 17th Mon Brown + 2 Red Tags
9th Mon Orange + 3 Red Tags 18th Mon Brown + 3 Red Tags
Promotion within the Mon grades is based on technical knowledge
and understanding, together with Japanese terminology
and supplementary knowledge. There is no contest requirement in
the Mon Grade syllabus however there is a progressively
structured randori element at the higher grades, where at the highest
level, Randori is based on open skills.
For grades up to and including 9th Mon, gradings should be completed
within the candidate’s club and can be examined by
the same coach that instructed the candidate.
For 10th Mon and above, gradings may be completed within the club
but candidates may also grade at Inter-club, area
promotion examinations and at any other event such as a Technical
Training course. It is good practice that the examiner
should be different from the coach.
With regular study and training, the judoka should be able to complete
the syllabus by the age of 18 (the keen judoka may
complete it as early as 15 years of age). It is, however, vitally
important that all they follow the progressive study of
techniques detailed in this syllabus and attempt promotion to next
grade at regular intervals.
All judoka are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for
their technical development as they progress through the
grades and it may be necessary for them to undertake supplementary
study and training in addition to that which is available
at the judoka’s club. Study of the BJA Technical Grading Syllabus
(TGS) and other resources will be highly beneficial (see page
5 for further information).
Important Notes:
1. Candidates can only be graded one grade at a time. (See Fast
Tracking on Page 5)
2. Although there is no contest requirement in this promotion syllabus,
judoka are encouraged to participate in
competition of the appropriate level for their age and experience.
There are many competitive opportunities which can
be used to supplement the judoka’s technical development.
MINIMUM AGE
The minimum age a judoka may attempt promotion is 5 years of age.
The recommended maximum grade that can be held before the age
of 8 is 6th Mon. Judoka may choose to seek promotion under the Senior
Kyu Grade syllabus on reaching 14 years of age.
Important Note:
Judoka aged 14 and 15 years of age choosing to seek promotion under
the Senior Kyu Grade Syllabus are not required to take
out senior membership of the BJA. Players are encouraged seek advice
from their coach on whether they should seek
promotion under the Senior Kyu Grade Syllabus.
ADMINISTRATION
All candidates must hold current BJA Individual Membership: this
membership number will be recorded on the Grading
Registration Sheet
Grading test success is registered at BJA Head Office within 7
days by completing the Grade Registration Sheet in accordance
with the instructions on the sheet.
BRITISH JUDO ASSOCIATION
JUNIOR MON GRADE PROMOTION SYLLABUS
GRADING FEES
The BJA charges a grading fee of £5.00 for all gradings (including
transfers). This fee is used for the administration and
development of the BJA’s grading schemes and must be forwarded
to the BJA along with the completed Grade Registration
Sheet.
The BJA recognises that organisers of gradings may require to add
a surcharge to the £5.00 grading fee to cover additional
costs such as venue hire, examiner’s expenses etc. The BJA
recommends a maximum surcharge of £5.00 but recognises that
grading organisers may charge more or less depending on circumstances.
Any surcharge should be retained by the grading
organiser and not sent to the BJA.
AUTHORITY TO GRADE
The following may conduct examinations in accordance with the Memorandum
and articles of the association and Bye-Laws
of the association. They must have either a current valid coach
or examiner’s card, hold current individual membership and
are the only ones authorised to submit a completed grading sheet:
Novice to 18th Mon
BJA Senior Examiners
BJA Examiners
BJA Senior Coaches
UKCC Level 2 Coaches
UKCC Level 3 Coaches
BJA Club Coaches
TIME REQUIREMENTS/FREQUENCY OF PROMOTIONS
Novice up to and including 6Mon ages 5-7
Candidates may be promoted one Mon every 3 calendar months.
Novice up to and including 6Mon — ages 8-17
Candidates may be promoted one Mon every calendar month.
This allowance for ages 8-17 is because it is known and accepted
that at this age range young people have a greater capacity
for learning and therefore more able to undertake examination at
shorter interval.
From 7th Mon and above — all ages
Candidates are limited to one promotion every two calendar months.
The recommended minimum time period between attempts at any promotion
for 7th Mon and above is four weeks,
however, there is no limit to the number of attempts to gain promotion.
A month is a calendar month e.g. a candidate can be
examined any date in January and then any date in March. This means
a candidate can enter a maximum of six gradings per
year, following a learning pathway of continuous progress however
it is anticipated they would go up 1 belt colour per year
NOTES ON THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
For promotion to all grades, candidates are required to know the
common English names and meaning of all Japanese
terminology used for the grade and, where appropriate, must be able
to discuss with the examiner the reasons for their
choice of technique, grip etc
Techniques must be demonstrated in an appropriate practical situation
and is intended that the exam process should be
become greater in depth as the candidate progresses through the
grades and acquires greater knowledge and understanding
of Judo
Some terminology has been included in the earlier grades to ensure
that the candidate is conversant with, for example, the
main terms used in refereeing.
From 7th Mon (juniors) and above there is no specific Ukemi requirement.
The candidate may, however, be required to act
as Uke and must be able to demonstrate the level of Ukemi required
by the grade.
All demonstrations will be presented in a formal manner either
static or on the move to the candidate’s preferred side. All
techniques will be demonstrated once only. The examiner may ask
for further demonstrations and will also test that the
BRITISH JUDO ASSOCIATION
JUNIOR MON GRADE PROMOTION SYLLABUS
candidate understands the key principles involved in the application
of the technique. Techniques and applications must be
demonstrated in an appropriate practical situation that includes
attacking opportunity, best grip and movement.
The examiner may test the candidate on any items from any of the
previous grades already passed
Candidates for examination must wear clean judogi and maintain
a high standard of personal hygiene. Hair must be secured
back, if it is long enough to impede their partner. No metallic
or hard object may be worn – rings must be removed, it is
not
sufficient to cover them with adhesive tape.
Candidates are to be conversant with the contest rules in particular,
prohibited acts:
Male and female candidates may be examined together as can candidates
of different ages and physique.
Candidates achieving 18th Mon can convert to 1st Kyu after the
age of 14. They must have a record of contest activity on at
least 2 occasions within the last 24 months recorded in their BJA
record book under "Record of Judo Events Attended” before
entering a competitive Dan grading and must be a minimum age of
15 to be promoted.
Although there are no specified requirements, the candidate must
understand and observe the simple regulations and
terminology governing randori, including the correct method for
signalling submission.
QUALITY CONTROL
Club gradings may be subject to visits from the Area Director of
Examiners to ensure a consistent application of the
examination criteria. These visits will be selected on a random
basis as a means of sampling a percentage of the clubs within
the area
Areas and Club gradings may be visited by the National Director
of Examiners, again to ensure consistent application of the
exam criteria.
PERSONAL CHOICE
For each grade there is an element of personal choice. This element
has been included to encourage originality and to assist
the judoka in developing a personal style which is suitable for
their physique and personality.
TERMINOLOGY AND SUPPLEMENTARY KNOWLEDGE
There is a limited amount of supplementary knowledge required,
the main emphasis on the use of the correct Japanese
terminology. For promotion to all grades, candidates are required
to know the common English names and meaning of all
Japanese terminology used for the grade and, where appropriate,
must be able to discuss with the examiner the reasons for
their choice of technique, grip etc.
CONVERSION TO THE SENIOR KYU GRADE SYLLABUS
Judoka of 14 years of age and above who hold a junior (Mon) grade
may, if they wish, convert to the Senior (Kyu) grade. The
following table will be used for all junior (Mon) grade conversions.
It may appear that the junior is converting to a lower level
of examination; however this is to allow for a period of assimilation
into the Kyu grade system. Judoka holding a junior (Mon)
grade will be converted to the senior (Kyu) grade on reaching 18
years of age.

BRITISH JUDO ASSOCIATION
JUNIOR MON GRADE PROMOTION SYLLABUS
CANDIDATES FROM IJF/EJU MEMBER ORGANISATIONS
It is acknowledged that there are many Judoka from foreign countries
residing in the UK and joining the BJA. If they hold a
grade in an association that is a member of the IJF or EJU, then
that grade is accepted by the BJA. Examiners are to convert
the colour belt from the original association to the higher BJA
grade e.g. An IJF Mon Blue belt would become a BJA 15th Mon
TRANSFER OF GRADES FROM NON BJA ORGANISATIONS
In a similar way to the process for recognising IJF/EJU judoka,
candidates from non BJA organisations that have joined the BJA
may convert from the colour held in the previous organisation to
the colour appropriate to the BJA grade. However they
must undertake the examination of all the previous grades and this
can be done by examining a percentage of the syllabus
deemed suitable by the examiner. If the examiner is satisfied that
the candidate has demonstrated the knowledge and
understanding appropriate to the grade being converted he can add
the candidates name to the Grade Registration Sheet
annotating the "From Grade" block as initials of previous
organisation e.g. British Judo Council (BJC).
FAST TRACKING
Judoka taking up the sport at the of 12 years of age and above
may be ‘Fast Tracked’ in their first year of BJA membership
a
maximum of three Mon grades in each of their first two gradings
i.e. Novice to 3rd Mon and 3rd Mon to 6th Mon.
SPECIAL NEEDS GRADINGS
The BJA understands that all judoka have a personal journey to
make through the grading system. The purpose of the grading
syllabus is to help coaches provide a safe, fun and stimulating
learning environment where all people with special needs feel
confident and motivated to reach their individual potential as a
judoka. Special need judoka may choose in consultation with
their coach to take part on this mainstream technical syllabi for
Mon and Kyu grades. If they decide that the mainstream
syllabus is not suitable they should contact the Inclusion commission
to participate in the separate Special Needs grading
system.
The coach/examiner and judoka should work together and in the practical
section where a waza is not possible due to any
type of restriction or limitation by the judoka, then the waza should
be substituted for a waza more appropriate but within
the grading criteria. For the verbal part of the exam, the judoka
can by any appropriate means, pass on the information
required to the examiner. There is no pass or fail and the examination
process can take minutes or quite a few days. When
the examiner is satisfied that the candidate has completed the requirements
for the grade, the promotion is then registered
with the BJA and also recorded in the candidates’ record book.
A great amount of discretion is given to the coach and/or examiner,
with the grading scheme being very flexible in dealing
with all needs. All mainstream documentation should be utilised,
however, on submission of grade registration to the BJA,
the Inclusion Commission is to be copied in (via BJA Head Office
attention SN gradings co-ordinator) with any deviations from
the syllabus in order to monitor and distribute best practice. Although
generally considered best practice that a different
person should examine than the coach, it is acknowledged that the
candidates own coach is best placed to determine the
ability and best time to carry out the exam.
Important Note:
Each candidate taking part in an examination should be relaxed
with no tension or stress. If the candidate is unable to
complete any section of the examination, their coach will either
adapt or replace the waza with one that the candidate is
able to complete. The aim is to challenge players according to their
individual abilities so that each player is fully able to
reach their potential. The candidate should be given the opportunity
to develop and demonstrate their skills and
understanding of judo and therefore qualify and progress through
the higher grades by virtue of their personal efforts. This
grading process is a working partnership between coaches, examiners,
players and parents/guardians.
BJA TECHNICAL GRADING SYLLABUS BOOK
The BJA Technical Grading Syllabus (TGS) referred in this document
is a separate publication which may be purchased directly
from the BJA. The TGS is a photographic guide which is intended
to act as a memory aid to assist candidates prepare for
grading examinations. The 320-page book is crammed full of coloured
photographs which illustrate the basic principles of
body placement and the most effective grips. Many of the techniques
are additionally illustrated by contest photographs and
English translations of the Japanese names are also included. This
