New rule changes for Judo
by Alice Mitchell 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Hi everyone, This is particularly relevant to anyone who competes. Please see the *new rules*, which can be found on www.ijf.org (click on 'Refereeing & Organization Rules Changes - Explanations') Among these are: - No leg grabbing whatsoever (no grabbing under the belt) - Hansoku-make - No breaking the opponent's grip with both hands - No hand shake at the start of the match (Shido) - Seniors begins at 21 years now - Any immobilisation, strangles, arm-bars, chokes starting within the mat area will be continued even if you both move outside the area - Timings for immobilisation are now: 10 seconds Yuko, 15 seconds Waza-ari, 20 seconds Ippon - Shidos do not count for score now. 4 Shidos still equates to Hansoku-make. If both opponents at the end of the match have the same score, but one opponent has a greater number of Shidos than the other, that opponent will win. A Shido in Golden Score will also give rise to a win, as well as the first throw - Golden score will not be limited to 3 minutes now; it is unlimited time until one opponent throws the other (or wins in groundwork). There is no flags decision These are the main changes, but for the complete list and reasons why these changes are being made, check out the website at the top of the email. A quick note for anyone who is unsure: this FRIDAY is the last session of term. Training will begin again on Weds 9th January (note there will be no more beginner classes) Have a very merry Christmas everyone!!!! :D See you back in the new year Alice

MAT FEES!
by Alice Mitchell 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi all, A quick rant about *mat fees*: People who are on my hit-list for death-by-spoon (who have paid membership, but not mat fees): Christophe Wilhelm Phillip Rudden Michael Bachman Swee Hang Chong Simon Alcayana Ronan McAdam Byrone Mitchell Peter Wing Nan Zhang Guohua Kang Also, I know that quite a few people still haven't bought *MEMBERSHIP*, especially some of the beginners!! I will be chasing you up for this, and starting next term with a strict policy of* you will not be allowed to train if you have not bought membership*. For anyone unsure of how to purchase membership or mat fees, please find the links below: Membership<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/jud…> Beginners Mat fees<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/jud…> Mat fees<https://www.imperialcollegeunion.org/shop/club-society-project-products/jud…> I will be chasing all of you up as this money is vital for continuation of Ethos and Budokwai hire and coaching from Glenn. Please be fair to everyone else so we can continue our great training! If you train with us but are not an Imperial student, you can purchase mat fees for the term, or you can pay £3 per session. This will be implemented from the start of next term. Sorry for the money rant! Thanks, Alice Club Chair
