Just curious, what does a test in Judo usually consist of?

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

Demonstrating techniques and randori, typically. Many Judo dojo have test curriculum and you can ask what techniques they will focus on for your test, but others focus primarily on randori and shiai--I know my last Judo instructor based promotions almost solely on how you do in competition.

i agree.. however.. i will give what MY dojo does. in the lower ranks... white through orange belt tests.. consist of just the technique itself.. whether you can actually do the the technique... above that (so i am told i only recently started at this dojo) consists of randori and technique.

"ok, well i must warn you, im an orange belt on karateforums!"
