My grandson is the small boy standing at the back
in the photo on the left.
Kanō Jigorō ( 28 October 1860 – 4 May 1938) was a Japanese educator and athlete, the founder of Judo. Judo was the first Japanese martial art to gain widespread international recognition, and the first to become an official Olympic sport.
Our children were members of a judo club. The eldest trained every week very hard. She got the blue belt. My younger daughter got the green belt and our son had the yellow belt.
The white belt is the beginner's belt followed by the yellow, orange, green, blue, brown and finally the black belt. This is the case in Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
The photos above were taken by my grandson's father, who also participated in the weekly training.

It's so good for kids to do a sport like this. Training the mind as well as the body.
Good your grandchildren are following the sporting achievements of your children.

Its a popular sport, there is a judo hall just around the corner from me in what was a church.

Dear Lady Fi
It is very difficult to contact you on your beautiful blog because my password is incorrect and what ever I try, it remains incorrect.I use gmail, but it is not accepted. Sorry!
My niece studied judo for many years and I saw her in action several times. To think that the work means 'gentle' or 'soft' doesn't seem right somehow!
