Judo Match Video Review Checklist

Copy or print a judo match-video review sheet. Separate visible actions, hidden details and questions for your coach, one exchange at a time.

Copy or print a match-video review worksheet

Copy these fields into your notes or print them. This page does not edit, save or send your record. Use one sheet per exchange; distinguish video time from the match clock. Invented example: “00:42–00:48; sleeve grip visible; other hand hidden.” Mark unseen details as unknown, and keep interpretations separate from observations. Record only feedback actually received; leave the next task blank until agreed with your coach. Omit private details and obtain permission before sharing footage.

Use the relevant fields

Choose one exchange and record where it starts and ends in the video; write the displayed match clock separately if it is readable. Describe the grips and movement you can actually see, including what happens just before and after. Put possible explanations in the interpretation field rather than treating them as facts; the camera may not show enough to explain the outcome.

Fictional filled example

Fictional entry: at video time 00:42–00:48, a sleeve grip is visible but the other hand is hidden; the match clock cannot be read. The note says “other hand unknown”, not “no grip”, and leaves the reason for the movement open. The question is “Can we see enough to describe the grip change?”; feedback and the next task stay blank because no discussion has taken place.

Return to the question

Take the timestamp and one unresolved question to your coach, so you can return to the same exchange together. Add only feedback you actually receive, with its date, and keep it distinct from your original observation or hypothesis. If you agree on a next task, record it; if the footage is inconclusive, a note about what remains unseen is a valid result.

Paper notes or digital tools

Use the printed sheet or your own notes first; no app account is needed for this worksheet. If you want digital tools, compare the linked Judo AI feature information with the way you want to organise your review. This page does not save, upload or import footage or notes, and an AI suggestion is not feedback received from your coach.

What should I write?

Record the video timestamp, visible actions, hidden details and a question for your coach. Keep the match clock separate, mark unreadable information as unknown and add only feedback actually received. There is no required completion time.
