It is hoped that athletes can learn to better manage contests within the rules by avoiding penalty situations and score more frequently once they have a better understanding of precisely how the rules are intended to work in detail. \nBritish Judo will continue their drive for excellence with VI and Adaptive rules tuition at the seminar with the hope to enable those matches to be managed more effectively across the country. \nTHIS IS A REVALIDATION EVENT FOR COACHES\, NATIONAL B AND ABOVE REFEREES \nDates / Times:  21st March 2026 Start 10.00\, End 17.00 \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nIf the form does not appear below it is likely due to your device settings.\nPlease clear your “Cookies” and/or open this page in a private window IE.

You will be taken through a simple 8-point presentation on how judo principles can be used in a school classroom context delivering any curriculum subject effectively by engaging pupils and managing their behaviour. \nThese principles have been tried and tested over nearly a decade with school staff in multiple contexts including primary\, secondary\, 16-18 colleges & initial teacher training higher education establishments. They have always been universally well received. The objective is two-fold: Because all of us need to manage our junior players’ behaviour at some level\, the 8 principles\, taken at face value\, will hopefully be helpful to you to do this more effectively before you even get back on the mat at your club. \nSecondly\, and perhaps more significantly\, you will be able to see ways in which you can apply similar judo principles to your own context and help those in your world who you do life with\, whether that is through your own day to day work\, relationships with your family\, how you spend your leisure time\, or whatever. I look forward to meeting you at one of the sessions. \nDate/Times: \nSaturday 21st June 2025 from 10:00 until 13:00 \nVenue: \nBJA National Training Centre\, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus)\, Gorway Road\nWalsall­\, West Midlands WS1 3BD \nDirections \nParking is free onsite \nCost: \n£20 \nOrganiser: \nChristian Pountain – christian.pountain@sky.com – 07378 765254 \nRequirement: \nYou must be at least a BJA Level 1 coach to attend \nThis is a British Judo Association Licensed Coach Education/Revalidation Course \n\n\n  URL:https://www.britishjudo.org.uk/event/judo-life-21-jun-25-walsall/ LOCATION:British Judo National Training Centre\, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus)\, Gorway Road\, Walsall­\, West Midlands\, WS1 3BD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Course,Revalidation ORGANIZER;CN="Christian Pountain":MAILTO:christian.pountain@sky.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T153000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T173000 DTSTAMP:20260418T112219 CREATED:20250506T095117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250528T084609Z UID:460960-1749915000-1749922200@www.britishjudo.org.uk SUMMARY:Midland Area AGM DESCRIPTION:Venue: George Kerr Suite\, British Judo National Training Centre\, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus)\, Gorway Road Walsall\, West Midlands WS1 3BD \nRepresentatives from all Midland Area clubs are invited to this opportunity to help improve and progress judo in the region. \n15:30 – 17:30 URL:https://www.britishjudo.org.uk/event/midland-area-agm/ LOCATION:British Judo National Training Centre\, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus)\, Gorway Road\, Walsall­\, West Midlands\, WS1 3BD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Other ORGANIZER;CN="Midland Area":MAILTO:sarahnewbury823@hotmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250614T150000 DTSTAMP:20260418T112219 CREATED:20250506T094951Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250528T084555Z UID:460957-1749897000-1749913200@www.britishjudo.org.uk SUMMARY:Midland Area Regional Open Randori DESCRIPTION:Venue: British Judo National Training Centre\, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus)\, Gorway Road Walsall\, West Midlands WS1 3BD \nOPEN TO ALL JUDOKA FROM ALL AREAS! \n10:30 – 12:30  Minors and Pre-Cadets (Registration from 10:00) \n13:00 – 15:00 Cadet\, Junior\, Senior and Veterans (Registration from 12:30) \n(note the slightly later start times than our previous sessions) \nThis session will also be followed by the Midland Area AGM and all Midland Area club representatives are invited to attend. \nPre-register here:    https://forms.office.com/r/jpeyautdaX URL:https://www.britishjudo.org.uk/event/midland-area-regional-open-randori-2/ LOCATION:British Judo National Training Centre\, University of Wolverhampton (Walsall Campus)\, Gorway Road\, Walsall­\, West Midlands\, WS1 3BD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Other END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250330T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250330T163000 DTSTAMP:20260418T112219 CREATED:20250203T131619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250203T131620Z UID:459365-1743327000-1743352200@www.britishjudo.org.uk SUMMARY:National Rules Seminar DESCRIPTION:British Judo are pleased to offer a Rules Seminar Revalidation Module for primarily referees and coaches\, it is mainly designed to disseminate the new contest rules of 2025 and reinforce the key contest rules that are not changed.\nThe British seminar will be underpinned by international referees including attendee(s) from the IJF seminar. \nFurther to the international seminar delivered under the direction of Head Referee Director Daniel Lascau\, British Judo will disseminate this valuable detailed guidance using feedback from Paris and Baku Grand Slams by this point. \nGBR encourage referees and coaches to work together to understand the interpretation principles more thoroughly of what is really happening and therefore the limits of what is allowed or not and why\, this will help referees to manage contests more accurately and help coaches to educate their athletes for compliance with the applicable rule set\, it is hoped that athletes can learn to better manage contests within the rules by avoiding penalty situations and score more frequently once they have a better understanding of how the rules are intended to work in detail.
