A looooong time ago I got my yellow belt in judo. So long ago that I don't consider myself a yellow belt in judo. :)
I guess it's time to get back into it then =]

What would the utility be? Community? AFAIK judo has national governing bodies in all countries. Rank is easy to prove. Btw, not trying to sound like an ass, genuine question.
I assume community and a way to publicly share it. Even folks prompted outside the governing bodies have the option to do rank validation with promotion boards as long as they can find someone of sufficient rank to recommend/evaluate them.

You could say the same about this site, but here we are with 16,000+ registered users in a year, so apparently there's some interested for niche social media sites like this.

Right you are! I've looked into it but most clubs are geared towards kids. Plus....there are only so many hours in a day.

I've noticed that too. Here in Germany it's the same. I'm lucky that I (finally) found a club with a good adult program, but even the members here say it is more the exception in Judo than the rule. One member who's been doing Judo for 20 years even said she's not found a comparable adult program in any other club she's visited.

My last group was also mostly focused on kids. Even the adult classes were taught like the kids classes. One day the teacher was too lazy to plan a class and just had us play football (soccer for the Americans) for an hour.

I’m a Sandan (3rd Degree BB) in Judo. Judo was my first martial art, but after almost 30 years and multiple serious injuries, i made the transition to BJJ in 2012. I still teach Judo at my BJJ school but now only compete in BJJ.

I am a Kodokan Judo Sandan (3rd degree black belt). I began Judo in 1990. I served as an assistant Judo coach in 2004, 2008, and 2016 for the Republic of Sakha Judo team (in Siberian Russia) for the International Children's Games of Asia.

Looking for beta testers of a Judo version of Beltchecker. If you're interested, send me a message here on the site and I'll give you access :)
I’d be interested. I’ve been doing my best to log and interact with the belt checker features so I have a pretty good feel for the platform and I’d bug my dojo buddies to join.

Oh, gotcha, and I definitely feel you on that last part. I always seem to want to do more than I actually have time for

I’ve taken a few classes. But it is hard to find a good place where I’m from. I signed up at one place and the instruction was meh. So I’m a white belt.

I am ranked in Judo and Shingitai Jujitsu under Steve Scott and Derrick Darling(they are also my Sambo coaches). I am an active competitor in Freestyle Judo, along with competing in BJJ.
