Good afternoon, Judo Alberta Members
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
Location: Tokugawa Dojo, 9647 62 Avenue NW, Edmonton
Date: Saturday, February 12, 2022
Time: 8:30 am dojo available for warm up
9:00 Grading begins
Location: Lethbridge Kyodokan Dojo, 2775 – 28 Avenue South, Lethbridge
Date: Saturday, February 12, 2022
Time: 1:00 pm dojo available for warm up
1:30 Grading begins
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.,

Hello Judo Alberta Members,
It has been a busy 24 hours, but following the recent announcement of the Covid-19 update by the Government of Alberta, it was decided by the Judo Alberta Executive Committee that it is of the best interest for our membership to postpone all Judo Alberta sanctioned events until the “Alberta State of Public Health Emergency” is declared over. We will monitor the current situation closely and make adjustments as needed.
Starting September 20th, 2021 Judo Alberta will be following the Restrictions Exemption Program for all sanctioned Judo Alberta events as outlined by the Government of Alberta https://www.alberta.ca/covid-19-public-health-actions.aspx. Between now and September 20th, everything will be business as usual.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Starting September 20th 2021, ALL Judo Alberta sanctioned events will enforce the following restrictions in order for members ages 12 and over (coaches, athletes, staff, parents, volunteers) to attend/participate:
*It is recommended that all members access their records at https://myhealth.alberta.ca/myhealthrecords. More details to follow regarding proof of vaccination processes.
MEMBERS UNDER THE AGE OF 12 GUIDANCE
Members under the age of 12 are permitted to train and compete in Judo Alberta sanctioned events but must:
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED BY JUDO ALBERTA THAT ALL CLUBS FOLLOW THE RESTRICTIONS EXEMPTION PROGRAM. IF NOT, THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS WILL APPLY:
Adult (over 18) sport, fitness, recreation and performance activities (Sept 20)
Youth (under 18) sport, fitness, recreation and performance activities (Sept 16)
Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this difficult time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact judo@judoalberta.com.

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.
ORDER TODAY & PLEASE SHARE OUR FUNDRAISING LINK: 30% OFF BACK TO SCHOOL SALE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 05, 2021: https://fundraising.tru.earth/JudoAlberta
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.
