DAN RANK
PROMOTIONS

This document was written to describe the promotion procedures and to prepare you for your Dan test. If you have any questions, feel free to ask any member of the Indiana Judo, Inc. Promotion Board for assistance. We will make every effort to administer promotion examinations twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter. After the Promotion Committee tests/reviews an applicant, and the applicant passes, we will send the Recommendation for Promotion to the USA Judo Promotion Committee. The USA Judo Promotion Board automatically accepts our recommendations for ranks up to, and including, Sandan. The USA Judo Promotion Board makes the final promotional decisions for the ranks of Yodan and above.
