JUDO: THE GENTLE WAY
Practitioners of Judo (Jūdōka) are ranked according to skill and knowledge of the art. Their rank is indicated by the color of belt that they wear. There are two broad categories of rank: those who have attained a level of competency at which they are considered worthy of a black belt and who hold dan grades and those who are yet to attain that level and who hold kyū grades. Those who hold dan grades are collectively termed Yūdansha (literally “person who has rank”) and those with kyū grades are Mudansha, literally “person with no rank”.
