For their Junior Red Belt Foundation judoka must be over 8, and therefore wearing a B&W belt. All B&W belts are encouraged to take the time to gain their RED BELT as the work they do in the Foundation group will prepare them for becoming a Junior Judoka.
Judoka after an Ippon Certificate and their full Red belt will be expected to train regularly, show a willingness to work together and a readiness to commit to the Blackwater JC ethos.
