New Grading syllabus
The most up to date syllabus, amended to August 2013, is available to download from the Tora Judo Kai website.
The grading of 8th December will be run using this syllabus as a basis and therefore you must familiarise yourself with the changes that exist. Should you have any questions about the syllabus, how it will be used and / or how the grading is to be run so that you can prepare students then please ask.
Everyone is invited to come along to sessions on Mondays at Abbeywood to get extra training and feedback and of course this invitation is extended to instructors and coaches. In fact, we feel it is a great opportunity for higher grades to be able to train together and for us to help toward your own development within Tora Judo Kai.
