Competing can be daunting, especially for younger or newer judoka. The Ultimate Judo League creates a safe, familiar and encouraging setting where all kids can test themselves, learn from others, and feel the reward of their own effort.
This isn’t just for squad members – it’s for everyone.
Children are split into small pools of 4–5 based on age, weight, and ability. They’ll compete in a round robin format(everyone fights everyone), with their pool supervised and guided by a coach throughout.
Each fight scored with:
3 points for the first Ippon
1 bonus point for each additional Ippon (max 5 points per fight)
3 Ippons = automatic win
We also feature a Double Point Technique each event – something from class that, if used successfully, earns an extra point!
Every judoka is assigned to a team. Their individual scores contribute to a team leaderboard. At the final event, the team with the most points wins the title of Ultimate Judo League Champions!
Bespoke collectors Medal and diploma for every child each session
Under 10s: not placed, effort celebrated
Ages 10+: placed 1st–5th in their group
