Your child does judo. Now they have the right book for every belt.
Belt-structured content, kid-friendly language, and vivid illustrations developed by judo instructors and educators to make learning judo clear, engaging, and effective.
Most kids practice judo without really understanding it.
They learn moves. They repeat techniques. They test for belts. But ask them why, and they don't know.
Nobody gave them the right material. Until now.
One book for every belt.
One complete journey.

See how it works.
Every volume brings together five kinds of pages, so your judoka learns the technique, the story behind it, and the values of the mat.
More than a book.
A teaching tool.
Every volume is intentional: what it teaches, how it's written, and when your judoka reads it.
Belt-specific content
Each volume was developed for a specific belt level, covering the techniques, vocabulary, history, and concepts a judoka needs to master at that exact point in their journey.
Language made for kids and teens
Clear writing, vivid illustrations, and age-appropriate examples. Students read it, understand it, and apply it on the mat.
Learning inside and outside the dojo
The books are designed to be used both during classes and at home, creating a learning continuity that reinforces what the instructor teaches.
Transparency for families
Parents get a clear window into what their child is learning, how they're progressing, and how to actively support their judo journey at home.
Support for instructors
The books help instructors structure lesson plans, reinforce key concepts, and prepare students for belt tests with greater consistency and confidence.
Internationally recognized standards
Content is aligned with internationally recognized judo educational standards and the belt progression practices adopted by leading judo programs, including USA Judo and the USJF.
