For those of you who don't know me I'm Juuso, your competition secretary and men's team captain. Here is a list of upcoming competitions for the next year. If you want to compete, you need to have a valid BJA licence which you can get from their website (I'll be happy to help). We will set up union products for the payments and I'll send you separate emails about individual competitions as they get closer. 

Southend international: 27.10.-28.10.

A nice competition, but you need to have your licence today to participate because

• name
• weight category
• actual weight
• licence number
• date of birth
• grade
• contact number so that I can call you tonight, if there are any problems with the entries

A competition for kyu grades (ie. not black and brown belts). We haven't attended before, but should be good fun. If you are interested send me the same details as for Southend ASAP.

London Unis Open: 24.11.

An excellent competition for all grades taking place in East London. All should attempt :P. If you want to come send me the same details as for Southend ASAP.

Warwick open: Usually two weeks before BUCS and thus good practice for it. Team competition and if I remember correctly individuals for women. 

BUCS: 22.2.-23.2.

The highlight of the year: British Universities Championships. Teams and individuals.

USIST: Last year mid-march. Team competition taking place in Sheffied with a great social after the fighting is done.

I encourage even the beginners to join the competitions because they are simply amazing! The categories are split both by weight and grade so you will be fighting people of your own level and size. Come, fight and fall in love!

Your comp. sec. and capt.
