  • SYLLABUS NIDAN 2Nd Grade Black Belt
    JUDO BLACK BELT SOUTH AFRICA ASSOCIATION YUDANSHA SYLLABUS NIDAN (2nd Grade Black Belt) The rank of Nidan is an extension of Shodan and the judoka is expected to continue his progress and refine the fundamental skills he has learned for Shodan. Time in grade is important as the judoka matures and continues in his study of judo. This is a time when the judoka also “makes his/her judo work for him” and applies the basic skills so that they best suit his strength, size and any other factors. This is also a time when the judoka assists a senior coach or starts teaching on his own so that he has a better understanding of as many aspects of judo as possible. The student is required to attend as many FJSAOA and/or IFJA clinics, seminars, workshops and classes as possible to improve his skill level. The student is also required to go through coach education and become accredited or certified as an FJSAOA or IFJA Judo Coach (this applies to everyone, including competitive judo athletes). There are few additional technical requirements for Nidan other than the fact that the judoka must progress in the quality of his technical skills and understanding of judo. If the judoka’s technical skill was a “7” on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 as the best), then he should improve it to as close to “10” as possible to be a Nidan. The judoka is expected to broaden his functional knowledge base as much as possible. It’s best to have the judoka work under the supervision of a senior coach so his skill level can be better assessed and suggestions on individual improvement can be made.

  • Nokido Ju-Jitsu & Judo Student Handbook
    Nokido Ju-Jitsu & Judo Student Handbook North Port, Florida Shihan Earl DelValle HISTORY OF JU-JITSU AND NOKIDO JU-JITSU Ju-Jitsu (Japanese: 柔術), is a Japanese Martial Art and a method of self defense. The word Ju- Jitsu is often spelled as Jujutsu, Jujitsu, Jiu-jutsu or Jiu-jitsu. "Jū" can be translated to mean "gentle, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jitsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent's force against himself rather than directly opposing it. Ju-Jitsu was developed among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and unarmed opponent in which one uses no weapon. There are many styles (ryu) and variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches, but you will find that the different styles have similar, if not the same techniques incorporated into their particular style. Ju-Jitsu schools (ryū) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, restraining, joint locks, and hold downs, disengagements, escaping, blocking, striking, and kicking). Japanese Ju-Jitsu grew during the Feudal era of Japan and was expanded by the Samurai Warriors. The first written record of Ju-Jitsu was in 1532 by Hisamori Takeuchi. Takenouchi Ryu Ju-Jitsu is the oldest style of Ju-jitsu and is still practiced in Japan. There are hundreds of different Ju-Jitsu styles that have been documented and are practiced today, one of which is our modern style of Ju-Jitsu, Nokido Ju-Jitsu. Ju-Jitsu is said to be the father of all Japanese Martial Arts.
