What the Yellow/Orange Belt Means in Kids Judo

The Yellow/Orange Belt represents an important progression stage in youth judo. At this level, children begin to move beyond basic imitation and start understanding core judo principles, including:
  • Kuzushi (breaking balance)
  • Tsukuri (proper entry and positioning)
  • Kake (controlled execution of throws)
Students improve their ability to move confidently, maintain posture, and apply techniques with control and awareness.

Judo Techniques Taught at the Yellow/Orange Belt Level

Our Yellow/Orange Belt curriculum is based on clearly defined techniques commonly taught at this stage of judo development. These techniques emphasize movement, timing, and safe execution.

  • Ko-uchi-gaeshi
  • Tsubame-gaeshi
  • Harai-goshi-gaeshi (variations)
  • Uchi-mata-gaeshi
