We have changed the sign-up protocol for the 2021 Judo Alberta Online AGM on November 07, 2021. We have had some technical issues regarding the other sign-up. If you have already signed up we please ask that you sign up again on the trackie sight. (There have been a few glitches with the Nate leaving) Thank you for your understanding. The Annual General Meeting of the Alberta Kodokan Black Belt Association (Judo Alberta) will be held virtually on November 7th, 2021 at 3:00 PM.

All signed Proxy Forms are to be collected by each club and submitted to the Judo Alberta Office (judo@judoalberta.com) no later than November 1, 2021, in order to validate each member.
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:
proof of vaccination
single dose accepted between September 20 and October 25 if received 2 weeks before time of service
double doses required after October 25
documentation of a medical exemption
proof of a privately-paid negative PCR or rapid test within 72 hours of service (tests from AHS or Alberta Precision Laboratories not allowed)
Indoor group classes, training, and competitions

during this difficult time.

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.
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.

On July 17th, Judo Alberta hosted the first Competitive Stream Dan Grading at the Lethbridge Judo Club. Gord Okamura and Garry Yamashita conducted the Nage-no-kata and Waza clinics, while Kelly Palmer and Wesley Enns led the Katame-no-kata and Kime-no-kata clinics. During the Waza clinic, all candidates were asked to demonstrate and give a brief explanation of how they execute their favourite techniques (both tachi-waza and ne-waza) and then everyone had the opportunity to practice the movements. A total of 29 participants took part in the kata clinics, including the Competitive Stream candidates.
The Judo Alberta Provincial Grading Board would like to
announce the following promotions and express our congratulations to all the candidates!
