Question

Consider the following statements regarding belt ranks and competition area in Judo:

1) A red-and-white belt is associated with judokas from Sixth dan to Eighth dan levels.

2) A shared safety zone of at least 1 meter must be maintained between adjoining competition areas.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

1. A. Only 1 is Correct
2. B. Only 2 is Correct
3. C. 1 and 2 both are correct (Correct answer)
4. D. Neither 1 nor 2 is Correct

Correct Answer

Option C — 1 and 2 both are correct

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 1 and 2 both are correct.

Key Points

• Statement 1 is correct. In judo the red-and-white patterned belt marks the senior dan grades, worn from the sixth to the eighth dan.
• Statement 2 is correct. Where competition areas adjoin, a safety zone of at least one metre must separate them, so that a throw near the edge of one contest cannot endanger competitors in the next.
• Both statements hold, so the answer is option C.

Additional Information

• The judo belt progression runs from white through coloured kyu grades to black (1st-5th dan), then red-and-white (6th-8th) and finally solid red (9th-10th dan).
• Judo was founded by Jigoro Kano in 1882 in Japan, and the term means "the gentle way".
• It became an Olympic sport for men at Tokyo 1964 and for women at Barcelona 1992.
• The highest score in a contest is ippon, which ends the bout immediately; waza-ari is the lesser score.
