Terms of service

Acceptance

By using Smooth Dojo (website or mobile app), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

The service

We provide a reference library of Kodokan judo techniques with links to official-style video sources and belt syllabi mapped from public federation documents.

The website is provided free of charge. The mobile app requires a one-time purchase through the app store where you downloaded it.

Independence and sources

Smooth Dojo is an independent educational reference. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official app of Judo Canada, USA-TKJ, FFJudo, the IJF, or any other judo federation. Syllabus data is compiled from publicly published federation documents; always confirm grading requirements with your instructor and the official source.

Where a federation publishes its syllabus publicly, we link to that source so you can verify our mapping against the original document.

Not professional instruction

Content is for reference only. It does not replace qualified coaching, medical advice, or your dojo’s grading requirements. Practice judo under proper supervision. You assume all risk of injury from training decisions.

Content and accuracy

Technique names and syllabus mappings are based on published Kodokan and federation sources. We strive for accuracy but do not guarantee completeness. Verify requirements with your instructor and official PDFs before grading.

YouTube and PDF links may change or become unavailable; we are not responsible for third-party content.

Mobile app payment

The mobile app is sold as a one-time paid app through the app store where you downloaded it. Price, taxes, and refunds follow that store’s terms. We do not process payments directly.

Purchasing the mobile app does not create an account with us and is separate from free website access.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Reverse engineer or redistribute the app except as allowed by law or store license
• Use the service for unlawful purposes
• Scrape or overload our systems in an abusive way

Intellectual property

App design and curated data structure are ours. Judo technique names, federation syllabi, and video content remain subject to their respective owners. Trademarks belong to their holders.

Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF THE APP OR WEBSITE.
