When people ask how long it takes to get a black belt they’re looking at it the wrong way. The longer it takes to get a black belt, the more meaningful it is and the more useful the martial art.

Ask any experienced martial artists around and they’ll say judo, wrestling and bjj are the best martial arts you can do for grappling, then Muay Thai, kickboxing or boxing for striking.

Ds#1 takes up judo last month and so far is attending once a week training of 90mins at one of the established dojo in Singapore. So far he seem to enjoy it.


I would like to ask existing judoka or parents of judoka the time you or your child took to complete the next stage Yellow belt? And your journey to attain black belt. I read that judo is a technically demanding sports and it typically takes 5-6 years to attain black belt...

Thanks.
My kid has been doing judo for 3.5 yrs. different schools have totally different timelines to achieve brown belt. We used to go for grading often but have chosen not to any more since dec2017. Now blue belt.

Full belt upgrade every year would seem reasonable. ie white to brown in 5-6yrs.

Do note that once kid reaches 13, they will be downgraded to an adult level belt, probably yellow. Some parents I know do not find it necessary for their kids to take gradings for this very reason

If learn aikido and judo concurrently, will a P5 child get confused ?
I personally dun think so, thought there are similar things to learn e.g. break falls etc. May I know the reason why you want the kid to learn two grappling arts concurrently?


Marital arts can be loosely categorised into three main groups, striking arts (karate, taekwondo, muay Thai etc), grappling arts (aikido, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu etc) and weapons arts (Kendo, wushu etc).

Compared to his immediate precedent taekwondo and precedent karate, judo requires him to grapple the concept of pivoting, leverage, etc.

Hi,


need adv.

finally my girl is turning 6 so I guess right time to start martial arts.
Showed her videos of muay thai, karate, taewando, aikido & judo..
she chose judo..

anyone here can adv if judo is suitable?
Interested in the singapore judo clu lesson near my house, any parent got any feedback to share? Itsvery affordable so ireally dun mind let her try for 1yr min.
But I think their coach is voluntary so not fixed?

I will bring her for a trial..
Judo is a good sport, but I would rate it as one of the highest contact sports amongst the martial arts you listed, second to muay thai. If you are ok with that, then you should go ahead. It will help to develop her motor skills and discipline.

I myself learn judo and I think it is a very good self defense technique that your children would benefit from. SA Judo School is definitely the best! Since judo is a rare CCA for schools (the best boy school with judo is HwaChong), it would be an easier to get in the school by sports DSA.
