BJA Contest Rules - August 2009
New Rules 2009, Negativity, Kumi-kata (Grips)
Sokuteiki Rules - How to use a Sokuteiki*
*To improve Judogi use, the introduction of a new measuring tool, 'a Sokuteiki' has been made. However, these rules will not be as strict within the UK for non-international events.

Akitas would like to express a huge thank you to Vanesa Arenas Comeron (pictured) of Judo Club Castalla who offered Sensei Adam huge hospitality and help during his time visiting Shacho Peter Hutchins in Alicante.
Thanks to the assistance of Vanesa, Sensei Adam was able to partake in a huge International Training Camp - one that Akitas hope to attend in greater numbers next year. Sensei Adam expresses huge gratitude to Vanesa and everyone that helped during his time there.

When Akitas Judo Club opened in Southend, it was the only BJA Judo Club in
Southend-on-Sea; something that has now been built upon after our successful reintroduction of Judo into the area.
We endeavour to fit all needs
- from the humble beginner that is only interested in a small taste of
the Olympic Sport of Judo, to the experienced Judoka keen to further
themselves to fight for their country.
The club is now supported by three separate locations, incorporating Akitas Southend Judo Club, Akitas Rayleigh Judo Club and Akitas Barling Magna Judo Club. We run four times a week, covering eight different sessions. We believe this is helping to further build Essex Judo, and in particular Southend Judo.
