The Judo Alberta Grading Committee is proposing changes to the Technical Stream & Competitive Stream Grading scheduled for February 12. The change will better protect our judoka by having greater physical distancing and safety measures
Dividing the Technical Stream grading into two regions
For Shodan candidates, in lieu of a written test, a Kahoot session will be held on Friday February 11 at 9 pm (no longer than 30 minutes) to test your knowledge. The instructions will be emailed separately to all Shodan candidates in advance.
Separate Competitive Stream grading
Location: Hiro’s Dojo, 1919 27 Avenue NE, Calgary
(based on competitive stream candidates, a virtual session would be considered
from Edmonton)
Date: Sunday, February 13, 2022
Time:
9:00 am Clinic begins
Competitive stream candidates will not do a traditional
formal Dan grading examination. Instead, there are two components
to your grading. First, there will be a kata clinic (as stipulated in the
National Grading Syllabus). Based on current applications, it will be a Nage no
Kata clinic on February 13.
Second, there will be a Tachi-waza / Ne-waza session where you will demonstrate your favourite Nage / Katame / Shime / Kansetsu technique. Then everyone will have time to practice.,

Judo Alberta is teaming up with TRU EARTH to raise
money for our Judo Alberta athletes and programs. This is a great opportunity
for you to help support Judo Alberta by purchasing these fantastic TRU EARTH
products.
TRU EARTH Eco-Strips are the smarter way to clean laundry. Each laundry
strip packs ultra-concentrated, hypoallergenic, eco-friendly cleaning power
into a tiny, pre-measured strip of liquidless laundry detergent that you just
toss in the wash. Its low-sudsing formula works in all types of washing
machines, including high-efficiency (HE). The smart hypoallergenic laundry
detergent formulation effectively seeks out and dislodges dirt molecules and
stains, keeping them in suspension until they are rinsed away. It makes your
laundry washing chore easier, healthier, more economical, and much kinder to
our planet.
Judo Alberta is encouraging its membership to order from TRU
EARTH and to share our fundraising link to friends, family, employees, and
colleagues. If we are going to make an impact on raising funds for Judo Alberta
athletes and programs, we will need everyone to work as a team. This is a
fantastic product!
Judogi Cleaning & Covid-19 Reality
It is very important that judoka are washing their judo uniforms and training clothes following each training. TRU EARTH is a great laundry detergent that is fantastic for cleaning judogis and is environmentally friendly because we are not using the big plastic bottles.
TRU EARTH laundry strips are perfect for athletes that will
be traveling to competitions and training camps. No need to purchase laundry
detergent on the road or have a bag of detergent or a container of liquid
detergent. The TRU EARTH strips will simply fit into your baggage taking almost
no room without having to worry about a mess.
