Judo PLAYERS don't get payed unless they in the Olympics and then they only get paid for advertising, such as wearing a suit made by adidas. Judo Referees however, can get payed $38,000 if they referee at the highest level. But they must be a black belt of some level.

after the yellow belt comes the orange belt then blue then brown then black

In japan, mat is Tatami and we just call it Judo Tatami.

There are two main differences between Japanese Jujitsu and Brazilian Jujitsu.

Japanese Jujitsu uses standing locks, strikes, take downs and ground techniques.

Brazilian Jujitsu leans more toward take downs and ground techniques.

Both are effective means of defense and both can cause serious injury.

Brazilian Jujitsu as with many other martial arts evolved from Japanese Jujitsu.

10 degrees of black belt exist in Karate. But each belt has a meaning. The meaning of the 10th degree is "perfection", not in those exact words. Because some people rightly believe that no one can be perfect, some Karate programs have eliminanted the 10th degree. An example of this is the ATA program, they only have 9 degrees of black belt.

You're never to old to train any martial art, i know a dude who knows a dude who has a son that has a son that has been training ever since he was five and and now he's i think 72. so really never unless you have a serious medical prob.

The word "judo" which originates from the Japanese language, means "the way of yielding." Do is commonly found in martial arts names because it means 'the way.' It is often translated as the 'gentle way'. That is not connotatively accurate.

Judo is the martial art referred to as the "gentle way."

There are a limited number of true 10th Dans in the world. Many of the Japanese styles do not even go that high. They feel that 10th Dan should only be awarded to the originator of the art. The Okinawa karate styles have a single 10th Dan in each style. To meet and train with one is an honor.

Jigoro Kano invented Judo in the late 19th century

Note. These are the over 8 grades. After Black there are more grades but your belt stays the same colour.

You will find the origins of Judo and Akido quite connected. Judo helps you understand the flow of the force (please, not starwars, but the 'push'. You know, when others are trying to punch you?) and helps you overcome it with much less effort. It originated as a mean of defense, though it can be offensive too. You learn how to tip other people's balance and make them fall basically, at the same time you learn how to use your strength to much better advantage.

Duration of Judo match is 3 minute for children limited, adult is 5 minute and 3 minute for master level.

mon

In the initial Dan rankings, solid red.

1st-5th Dan Black Belts wear a black belt. 6-8 wear black belts also but can wear a red and white striped belt. 9-10 wear a red belt, the highest rank ever reached. (Theoretically if one attains perfection in judo, they are 12th dan and wear a double wide belt, to distinguish from a single-wide beginners belt.)

*The ranks used in other countries including Europe use the black belt as the highest, with the order of ranks being white, red, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and black.

it depends on your sense (instructor) some are very serious (bigger clubs) and some are focused on just learning (the smaller clubs)

i have been doing judo for 5 years and have been to 6 competitions

Not really. Atemi-waza does exist in the advanced training of judo, but the shuto, or knife hand, is not taught.

Tenth dan. I think there are only three people who have it right now. In the world.

It depends on what throw you are doing. For example, usually doing a throw like Ippon Sionage or osoto is pretty fast. Most throws, if done correctly take less than a second to complete, but it can take up to 20 or so seconds to set up.
