Sign up sheets for tomorrow
by Judo, Judo 14 Nov '21

14 Nov '21

Hello all, We’re going to trial a different attendance log system for this week, since the sign up sheets can be a little tedious for everyone. We’ll send round a link to an open spreadsheet. The attached image will hopefully be self explanatory. If you suddenly can’t come then just take off your name yourself. The monday and wednesday rooms still have optimal maximum capacities of roughly 12 and 16 respectively. It is still important to log your attendance if you’re coming. If you’re bringing a friend, please put their name down too. We need to have a record of who comes to each session for covid and fee reasons. We’ll send round the spreadsheet link at 20:00 today. Also, for beginners, the half hour before a session starts when the room’s being prepared and the mats are just being set out is a chance for you to maybe ask specific questions about what you need to know for your next grading, something we don’t really focus on during the sessions. For example, last Wednesday we drilled breakfalls. A good demonstration of what you need for your red belt can be found here: https://youtu.be/6P3HgkL1ShU (One technical point: two of the techniques, osoto-otoshi and uki-goshi, are superficially similar to a couple of more commonly used techniques, osoto-gari and o-goshi respectively. However they involve slightly different mechanics. Something we can talk about before sessions or during sessions) Regards, Nicolas [cid:EFC67608-3B29-40BE-A836-8EB644DBC828-L0-001]

Hello all, As advertised, for tomorrow Wednesday 10th Nov, The sign up sheet for the beginner’s session: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfs6oKcPwWjh_s9tV8epyXcYd3EdLJ9H4I… At 16:00-17:00 Activity Space 1 The sign up sheet for the intermediate/advanced session: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfdPVmEV7PgfWW_-F9fI7JeeqBS1_gB4Ng… At 17:00-18:00 Activity Space 1 As before, if you’re able to fill in the sheet, you’re on the list. There is no confirmation email. Once it’s full the list disables. Additionally, here is the link to the club whatsapp chat. It’s not particularly active, but it may be more reliable if you need an immediate response to any querie, such as struggling to find where we are at a given time. https://chat.whatsapp.com/DvJvNxhu5QMKlWz1g4xUyH Don’t forget to start getting your BJA license under the significant discount offered by the student voucher scheme if you’re a beginner thinking of continuing judo; you need to be insured and have a gi to practice long term, and it’ll mean you can progress with grading. Let us know if there’s any issue! Regards, Nicolas

Venue for today
by Judo, Judo 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hello all, I’m afraid the venue change didn’t succeed for today so we’re actually still in Meeting Rooms 1&2. If you weren’t here last time and don’t know where that is, just enter the Union bar, go to the far end by the room they have for special occasions, and then go up the stairs to the first floor and it’s the door on the right. Regards, Nicolas

Sign up sheets at 20:00 today

07 Nov '21

Hello all, We will send round sign up sheets for tomorrow’s (Monday 8th Nov) sessions at 20:00 today. Tomorrow’s sessions will be: Beginners 20:00-21:00 Intermediate/advanced 21:00-22:00 I will confirm for sure tomorrow but the venue will be different from last monday. It will be Meeting Room 3, which is on the top floor of Union, right next to the lift, opposite the Union Gym. This will fix the whole mat set up fiasco we had last Monday. But again, I will confirm tomorrow. Don’t forget to buy a license under the BJA student voucher scheme if you haven’t already and you’re definitely interested in continuing coming to sessions. Once you have it, and the gi that comes included with it, you can start preparing for your first grading. Regarding the Sheffield Kyu Grade competition, at some point this coming week we’ll start coordinating with any of you who want to go, how we’ll get there, etc. If you’re graded it really is a good idea to go to these things. There’s no way to recreate the feeling of a competition other than doing competitions. When the bigger comps like BUCS come round, you’ll be far better prepared having done things like these. Plus it’s a chance for us to get together outside of uni. Regards, Nicolas

LICENSE, KYU COMPETITION
by Judo, Judo 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Hello all, To any regular beginners, we hope you’re enjoying the sessions! If you’re a beginner and you haven’t done so already, please now acquire a BJA membership to continue. As explained in a past email, the Student Voucher Scheme will give you a license, a grading, and a uniform, all for £30. At the rate the Union is taking to approve purchases, this will actually be the quickest way to start training with a gi anyway, but more than that you need to be insured to train Judo. Having the license, you can also train in any other dojo. To any graded kyu members, the Sheffield Judo Club is organising a Kyu grade competition on Saturday 4th December, a month from now. We’ll let you know what needs to be done soon, but if you’re interested make sure to keep that day free. If you’re not already on the whatsapp, go ahead and join so you can be in more immediate contact with the rest of us: https://chat.whatsapp.com/DvJvNxhu5QMKlWz1g4xUyH Regards, Nicolas

Reflections on yesterday, sheets for tomorrow released at 18:00 today
by Judo, Judo 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Hello all, For those of you who came to yesterday’s beginner session, sorry about the set up issue. I’ll either change the room or find a way to set up the mats earlier in the day. Otherwise, not a bad session! It was pointed out to me that I advertised I’d be releasing the sheets for last night’s session at 12:00am. Ignorant that I am, that meant midday in my head, when it actually refers to midnight. So, I am extremely sorry to anyone who stayed up expecting an email. The sign up sheets for tomorrow’s (Wednesday 3rd Nov) sessions will be released at 18:00 today (Tuesday 2nd Nov). These will be, as last week, at 16:00-17:00 and 17:00-18:00 for beginners and intermediate respectively, in the Activity Space 1 (slightly larger room). Regards, Nicolas
