BUCS
by Judo, Judo 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Dear all, This weekend saw ICJC attend the 2010/2011 BUCS national university championship in Sheffield sending 10 representant in the individual event and both men and women team. It has been a great weekend and we were delighted to end on a good note with the girls’ team earning a well deserved Bronze. Overall I am glad of the performance of some of our young talent as this year’s event proved of a very high standard. The team secured a total of 5 medals proving it deserves its place amongst the country’s best university judo club. I have attached the report compiled by one ofAdam. Below are the final results (ranked)-see full official results attached: Individual Kyu Grade: Tomasz Zamacinski u81kg: Gold Jake Woods u66kg: Bronze Alice Mitchell u57kg: Bronze Adam Elwood u81kg: Fifth Individual Dan Grade Marie de Parseval u63kg: Bronze Edouard Desclaux u73kg: Fifth Team Event Women Team: Bronze Men Team: Seventh The use the Budokwai proved to be very useful as we are now have ULU Judo and Middlesex Judo coming down to train with us on Wednesday afternoon. I hope to see all you freshers who were not eligible for this year’s BUCS to actively take part in university competition next year. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank coach Derek ‘Smudge’ for his support. He will be crucial in further developing the club next year and I am confident that he is the right person to prepare the players to do well on such a tough tournament. As outgoing team captain, many thanks again to everyone for contributing to university sports over the years and I hope to see you all very soon. Best wishes, Edouard Desclaux ICJC Team Captain

Dear all, As some of you will probably know, the sale for 2012 Olympic ticket has now opened. I highly encourage you sign up at www.tickets.london2012.com<http://www.tickets.london2012.com/> You have until April 26th to make a selection of the events you wish to attend. The olympics taking place in your home country happens once in a lifetime. Think about it! On a personal note, I have selected to watch judo. I'd recommand 60kg/48 kg, 73kg/57kg and +/-100kg/+/-78kg should be interesting to watch! Additionally, the Japanese Olympic Committee will be based in college during the Olympics. I'd imagine some of the staff and athletes will be staying in Southside and Eastside halls of residence. If you're around next summer, look for cauliflower ears around campus! Best, Ed --- Imperial College Judo Club w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk

BUCS note
by Judo, Judo 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Dear People, Quick word with regard to BUCS: For those who were not aware, next weekend will see twelve Imperial College Judo representants fight in the National University Champuionships held in Sheffield. This event representants by far the most important event on the university competition calendar. The team will be leaving Friday afternoon for the 6pm weigh-in and will be staying in Uiversity of Sheffield student Accomodation. Saturday will see the individual event kick off, with both Kyu grade (Green/Blue Event) and Dan grade event (Brown/Black Belt) taking place simultaneously, and Sunday will see Imperial Men and Women Team fight for the National Team title. As most of you know, all BUCS points, used to rank british universities in order of sporting achievements, will be attributed over that same event. Last year, IC Judo convincingly collected 35 points thanks to some good individual performance as well as a 3rd place Bronze in the Men Team event. IC Judo contributed to Imperial's overall 17th place in the national ranking, and top spot amongst London Universities. Consequently, we have receive considerable support from Imperial, amongst other obtaining the training slot at the Budokwai, which I hope you have enjoyed. Although this year's preparation for BUCS has been disjointed and rushed for some of us, I am confident that our fresh-faced team will put in some good performances and show our Welsh,Scottish and Irish colleagues what us scientific geeks are mad of on a mat. On a separate note, I know that some of you have failed to qualify because of grade requirement of green belt, which to me is slightly nonsense, and I can imagine that you are disapointed no to be joigning us next weekend. I hope this will push you to train even harder next year and that you'll put in the required effort to qualify for BUSC 2012. In the meantine, I would like, on behalf of IC Judo, to wish the best of luck to all of whom will be taking part in BUCS. IC Judo Team tracksuits will be handed out at the end of Monday's session. See you all then, Edouard ICJC Team Captain w: http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/acc/judo e: judo(a)imperial.ac.uk
