Hey all, I hope you all had a fantastic break and a happy new year! I also hope that you are ready for some exciting training sessions which will be of high intensity because we have the BUCS Judo Competition coming up in February, followed by USIST competition (+social) later in the term. For those that don't know, BUCS is the BIGGEST, most important and one of the most exciting competitions of the year. It will be held on 21st and 22nd of February in Sheffield, so we are aiming to travel down there with a mini bus and stay at a hotel (hopefully Sport Imperial will pay for some of our fees). The idea is to travel down to Sheffield on Friday around 1-2pm as Dan grades have to weigh in on Friday Evening, and we will arrive back in London Sunday evening. If you would like to go by train, you can do so individually. We are also aiming to enter teams for the team events held on Sunday; this is an individual and a teams competition. If you are interested then please email back with your weight category and grade. Sadly, there are limited entries per competition, so places in the BUCS team will be allocated based in commitment in the club trainings. Competing at BUCS is honestly a privilege and shows your commitment to the club and the sport! I hope we all train very hard over the next few weeks with a lot of motivation from this email, because BUCS is a really big competition and highly respect by the university.
