Classes and gradings resume Tuesday 15 March
Tony & Kev have both tested negative for Covid, meaning that classes can resume from Tuesday (tomorrow). Thankfully both only had mild symptoms – although Tony’s took a long time to clear!
With cases on the rise following the removal of mitigations (mask wearing, work from home etc.), please continue to be respectful if you should develop symptoms or test positive – there may be players/parents at the club who fall into the vulnerable categories.
No Judo Thursday due to Covid
Regrettably we need to cancel the session Thursday 9 March due to Covid amongst the coaches.
Tony is still testing positive (day 6) but only has mild symptoms. Kev has returned a positive result this morning, leaving us with no choice but to cancel this Thursday.
Hopefully we can restart classes on Tuesday, and will resume gradings.
A few reminders:
- Hampshire Squad – next date!
- Hampshire Closed – get those entries in!
- Fundraising – how you can help
Gradings tonight / your help wanted!
First night of our planned grading block tonight, and we are are looking forward to seeing all the new grades being awarded.
However, we need your help! Tony is currently isolating with Covid (timing is everything…) and hoping to back for Thursday, as today is day 5. Is there anyone who can help with laying mats and taking mat fees tonight, so that Kev can start on time? If so, please meet Kev in the main hall for 5.30pm or as soon as possible after.
Obviously this does mean that gradings may take longer than first envisaged, but everyone will get a chance!
Grading fees
We hate to talk money, but with gradings starting from Tuesday 8th March we felt it appropriate to remind you of grading fees. These fees are set by British Judo, a mat fee is payable as well.
We will not register new grades until the appropriate grading fee is paid to the club. You must also produce proof that you are registered as a current member of the British Judo Association by presenting your membership card. The grading coach will need to sign up your record book with your new grade – this will be checked should you enter competitions.
Grading fees are:
Sho grades – FREE
Mon grades – £14
Kyu grades – £20
Gradings to be held in March
Sho, Mon and Kyu gradings will be held throughout March.
February sessions will be devoted to grading prep across all syllabi, to ensure that players are as prepared as possible. Please ask if there is anything in particular that you would like us to cover. As always, do not forget the personal choice element of the grading!
A video guide to the Mon and Kyu techniques can be found here. Sho techniques also have an online video demonstration.
Players must hold a full BJA licence to grade. Licence details are available here.
First grading success of 2022
Congratulations to Connor McCormack, who has successfully completed the examination for promotion to 3rd Sho.
Details of all grading schemes, and how to apply for your membership to access the grading system, can be found on the British Judo website.
