Yudansha Evaluation and Grading Instructions

Yudansha Evaluation and Grading instructions (i.e., checklists) are available through your Dojo Head or Dojo Administrator.

It is each student’s responsibility to notify their Dojo Head about their intention to attempt a Dan or Licence Grading.   Dojo Heads (or Dojo Administrators) are to notify the CRAO Technical Committee Secretary of their student’s intention to grade. Pertinent information will be confirmed a minimum of 1 week prior to Evaluation and Grading dates.

It is expected to attend the Yudansha Evaluation prior to challenging a Grading.

It is expected to attend the Yudansha Clinic on the Sunday after both the Evaluation and Grading to receive feedback on the candidate’s performance.

Please contact your Dojo Head, Dojo Administrator, or an Executive member of the CRAO Board for clarification on these instructions.
