Koshinryu Jujutsu Australia Incorporated Grading Criteria Shodan to Godan


BLACK BELT – NIDAN to GODAN Invitation to Grade – At these levels an application for grading can only be submitted following an invitation from the Executive Council. At which time a graduate or senior graduate member will be appointed as a mentor. Rules of Grading – Graduate members are to ensure they are up-to-date with the latest rules of grading for Koshinryu Jujutsu Australia. Assessment Criteria Definitions – To be understood before the grading proceeds: Evidence the graduate member primarily responsible for the preparation of the

candidate, is to put together the required evidence to confirm having achieved the criteria stipulated under Part 1 and present this to the grading panel with his or her confirmation that the candidate has been appropriately prepared and that the grading should proceed.

Research it should be evident to the grading panel that the candidate has

researched the subject matter. All typed papers are to include acknowledgements and references.

Knowledge the candidate will need to answer questions with confidence and

demonstrate understanding of the subject matter. Explain it should be evident to the grading panel that the candidate

understands the subject matter and is confident in highlighting the key principles and in the use of correct terminology.

Demonstrate the candidate sets the pace and in many situations will also select

the attack – this is therefore an opportunity for the candidate to demonstrate variety in his or her ability without the pressure of an unknown situation.

Counter with appropriate response and skill, the candidate is to successfully

counter the aggressor(s). Control the candidate needs to show control of the aggressor(s) and of the

situation: before, during and after the attack is countered. Previous Grading Criteria – During any grading the grading panel may, in seeking to test the ability of the candidate, request requirements from any previous grading.

To be recommended for promotion – A candidate will be required to satisfy the assessment criteria in all sections demonstrating dynamic all round handling of every situation and the achievement of the required level of competency. Additionally the panel must be satisfied as to the candidate’s temperament and character.

PART 3 SPECIAL NOTICE ALL LEVELS The future of Koshinryu Jujutsu Australia relies heavily upon the contribution made by those graduate members who dedicate themselves to the teaching of our syllabus for the benefit of students within Koshinryu, or by their outstanding contribution to the administration of Koshinryu. Within Koshinryu it is recognised that this contribution when extending over many years enables the graduate member to develop their knowledge within jujutsu potentially beyond what might be their current physical ability to perform the criteria of this curriculum. With this recognition in mind it is important that a graduate member who has made such a contribution is not disadvantaged in their personal rank progression. Therefore the grandmaster may give approval to a grading panel for appropriate modification of Part 3 to suit the individual and personal circumstances of the candidate for promotion.
