Session spreadsheet

Hello all, In the interests of not constantly spamming you with notifications about the sheets, we’re just going to update the shared sheet every week (say, every Sunday at 20:00 before the week in question) with a fresh set of session columns for you to put your name in. We won’t notify you, just know that the columns will be there from Sunday for the Monday and Wednesday sessions. If we make a structural change to the sheet or venue or time we will put it in an email. As with last week, for the Monday session you can now attend both slots for the full two hours if you’d like. Just put your name down in both slots. However, if you don’t have a gi yet, just stick to the beginners slot since we still want to have at least one slot for full judo, grips and all. If you don’t have a gi yet, get one with your license under the BJA student voucher scheme! Link (should be the same as last week): https://imperiallondon-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/nfg18_ic_ac_uk/EdLX… (Ignore data to the right of the orange line, that’s for past sessions, we just want to keep everything within one sheet) Regards, Nicolas

Sheffield Competition
by Judo, Judo 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hello all, On Saturday December 4th there will be a Kyu Grade competition organised by Sheffield University, which I’ve mentioned a few times before. It would be great to have some people competing. I myself will be attending, though a knee injury has prevented me from actually fighting. Our deadline for entering competitors is the 27th of November (i.e. next Saturday). I’ve attached a link to a spreadsheet for you to put your name and stats into if you would like to compete. https://imperiallondon-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/nfg18_ic_ac_uk/EZx-… The entry is £20 per person, and we haven’t organised any official mode of transport so you’d also need to figure out the most convenient way for you to get there. Since it starts in the morning you may even have to arrive the night before and find somewhere to stay the night. To compete you need to have a BJA license (if you’re licensed in another country you need it transferred over, this can be done by bringing in proof of your license to Glenn along with your BJA booklet/license). If you’re still a white belt but have your license and are interested in the possibility of competing, put in your name and put ‘ungraded‘ under grade. We may be able to quickly grade you this week before entering your name. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions if you’re unsure about something. For more details take a look at Sheffield Uni’s online materials. https://fb.me/e/1Sg9CpemS?ti=icl Regards, Nicolas

BJA Licence

15 Nov '21

A reminder to any beginners who are thinking of doing Judo long term: get your BJA license! They take a while to actually deliver your booklet and all so the sooner the better. Once you’re licensed, you can be graded. Once you’re graded, you can start fighting more and learning cool techniques. Regards, Nicolas

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]

Wednesday sign up sheets

10 Nov '21

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
