Go-No-Sen-Waza /Counter Techniques & Rennake-Waza / Combination Techniques


Students must demonstrate an understanding of the technicalities of Judo through the use of combinations and counters. This is a key requirement in
Gradings from green belt onwards. Some may have been taught but students need to create and perfect as many of their own as possible in order to show a
true understanding. The same technique cannot be shown twice at each grading, which adds to the importance of knowing several of each.

SJA Syllabus
Part III

Achieving a Dan grade means you now hold a master grade as opposed to formally holding a student grade. However a black belt does not
mean that you are a Judo expert and nearly all Dan grade Judoka will continue to learn, develop and adapt throughout their Judo careers.
