Sankyu: 3rd Degree Brown Belt Promotion

Belt Promotion

Sankyu: 3rd Degree Brown Belt Promotion

Committed Learner. The sankyu rank is an extremely important one. The sankyu is awarded to those who have committed to the path of learning Judo. It recognizes an important transition as the judoka has learned more than half of the body of Judo techniques. The study of Judo has begun in earnest and the focus often switches from theory to practice. Progress from this point forward depends on the ability to apply Judo techniques in randori, shiai, and kata.

The promotional candidate must also be registered with the United States Judo Federation for rank verification.
