You will need to purchase a judo uniform or gi (currently $27-37 depending on size), available from Brian Rowe . Karate gis are not sturdy enough for judo.

We ask that all members join the USJA for promotion and insurance purposes. There is a small fee for each belt  promotion. The rank of black belt first degree will typically take a diligent student about 4 years.  Promotions are done based on exams and tournament points. Promotion requirements are found at
