Belt Progress & Grades
Track your judo journey from your current belt to your next grading.
The Grades page shows your current belt rank, tracks your progress toward your next grading, and maintains a complete history of all grades you've achieved.
Current Grade
The top section displays your current belt with a visual representation. For belts with stripes (like yellow-white or orange-yellow), the display shows a split belt with both colors. Belts with a black tip show a small black dot indicator.
Belt Display
Shows your belt color, kyu/dan number, and any stripes or black tip. The display uses your club's naming convention (e.g., "Yellow 7th Kyu" or "Yellow with White Stripe").
Grade Details
Shows when the grade was awarded, who examined you, and your certificate number if one was issued.
Performance Scores
If your club records grading scores, you'll see three categories:
- Technical: Your performance in techniques and throws
- Knowledge: Understanding of judo theory and terminology
- Character: Attitude, etiquette, and sportsmanship
Next Grade & Eligibility
If your club has configured grading progressions, you'll see information about your next belt and what's required to achieve it.
Progress Bars
Visual progress indicators show how close you are to meeting requirements:
- Training Time: Shows months completed vs. months required since your last grading
- Class Attendance: Shows classes attended vs. minimum required
When a requirement is met, the bar turns green and shows a checkmark.
Eligibility Status

When all requirements are met, you'll see a green banner suggesting you speak to your coach about your next grading.

A yellow banner lists the specific reasons why you're not yet eligible (e.g., "Need 2 more months training time").
Grading Requirements
Detailed requirements are organized into categories:
- Technical Skills: Specific throws, holds, or techniques you need to demonstrate
- Knowledge & Theory: Japanese terminology, judo history, or rules you need to know
- Additional Requirements: Other criteria like contest points or special achievements
