Looking to get into competition?

Posted on January 30, 2024

If you are thinking of getting into competition – firstly make sure you have an BJA membership.

Details of competitions within the Southern Area (Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent) are published on the calendar of the Southern Area website.

The Southern Area website also links to the main British Judo events page, detailing courses and competitions across the country.

As most entries are now online, we no longer print and circulate entry forms.

Details of smaller, club based events may be circulated locally.

Always check with the Club coaches about suitability of an event before entering.
