Judo Alberta Technical & Competition Stream Grading – February 12 & 13, 2022, Lethbridge, Edmonton, Calgary
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.,

The formerly approved motion by the JA executive: To postpone all Judo Alberta tournament events until further notice. All regional/provincial training camps, NCCP clinics, and gradings will be permitted without any spectators. Only participants over the age of 12 with proof of vaccination are permitted to attend. Single vaccinations will be accepted until October 24th. Starting October 25th double vaccinations will be required as per Government of Alberta regulation.”
The newly approved amendment by the JA executive: As of Nov 29,2021, Judo Alberta will follow the AHS Restriction Exemption Program (REP) for all future events, including tournaments, clinics, training camps, and all other sanctioned events. For events being held in public or private facilities, Judo Alberta will follow the facilities rules as long as those rules follow the AHS protocols.
