For the first time in Khankendi: official judo belt grading exam to be held

On November 1, for the first time in Khankendi, an official exam for judo belt levels will be organized with the Azerbaijani Judo Federation as the organizer. The tests, to take place at Secondary School No. 4 named after Nizami Ganjavi, have been announced as open to all judoka aged 7 and above. Participants will demonstrate their knowledge and skills in accordance with the relevant age categories.

Postxronika.az As the ACF reports, successful candidates will be provided with the corresponding belt and rank certificates by the federation. Starting this year, athletes who do not have an official belt rank will not be allowed to take part in tournaments. Registration for the paid exam is carried out through sports organizations or by applying directly to the federation.

The implementation of sports events in territories liberated from occupation provides a major boost to the development of physical education in the region. The mandatory application of belt ranks serves to raise athletes’ professional level and supports the standardization process. Initiatives of this kind organized in Khankendi play an important role in ensuring the mass involvement of young people in sports.
