White-Yellow

You are mastering the fundamentals: stance, movement, the ability to fall safely. Your body is already stronger than someone who has never stepped on the mat — push-ups, jump rope, pull-ups have become routine. First throws, first ground positions, transitions between them, and control — the foundation on which everything else is built.

Requirements

Acrobatics

  • •Ukemi: backward fall, side fall, forward fall onto the stomach ("leaf" fall)
  • •Forward roll, backward roll
  • •Shrimp — moving the hips backward and forward along the mat to develop mobility in groundwork
  • •Gymnastic bridge with the head lifted off the floor

General Physical Conditioning

  • •Jump rope: 20–30 seconds

  • •Morote Gari — double-leg takedown; grabbing both legs and bringing the opponent to the mat
