Editorial –
As you will see, a lot more USA Judo News will be put into this newsletter. It is not meant just as a filler and most of you may already be receiving this information. But the fact remains that many more of our members in Illinois and the Midwest are participating at tournaments across the country on a regional, National as International level. This information is for you to scan and note only as it pertains to your own needs. It is not necessary to read every word or article but if it is something you need to know, here is another place to find it. Not all things will be put in – but maybe I should not discriminate and just put everything in. Let’s see how this works and tell me if this is worth it to find or read through all of this.

The items listed below may or may not be linked already. To get further information on any of these stories, it is better to go to the USA Judo website.
From the USJF:
In a report from Mr Joon Chi, Chairman of the USJF Referee Committee, this organization apparently will adopted the blue Judogi to be phased into use for their Junior Nationals starting in 2007. All 13 – 19 year olds, Juvenile A and B, and IJF Junior divisions will be required to have both Blue and White Judogi’s to compete in this years Championships to be held in Ypsilanti, MI in July. In 2008, all 8 – 12 years old, Bantam and Intermediate 1 – 2 divisions will be required to also us Blue judogi’s. In 2007, it will be an option for the lower divisions. This will be voted upon at their annual meeting in April by their board of directors.
Please be advised that this ruling has not yet been implemented – this is just a preliminary advisement that this may become a requirement.
Junior Competition Opportunities: Kindai Cup, Pan Am Junior Championships and Junior British Open
Kindai Cup Team Judo Championships: 12 – 14 yr Boys/Girls Funded International Event
The following FUNDED International event is available for 12-14 yr old athletes who are members of USA Judo and who meet the selection criteria as presented below.
The Kindai Cup Team Judo Championships will be held March 25 in Tokyo, Japan.
Each team will include FIVE individuals. There will be teams from Australia, France, Germany and Korea, as well as dozens of teams from throughout Japan.
The event is for boys OR girls and the age parameters overlap the USA Judo 2006 year-end rosters so that they include SOME dates that are served by the Juvenile A rosters through others that are included on the Intermediate B rosters.
The eligible Birth dates are between: April 1, 1992 – March 31, 1994.
The Team will be compromised of FIVE athletes:
TWO will be under 66kg
ONE will be under 81kg
TWO will be OPEN weight
Girls MAY compete but they WILL compete against boys. Last year there were around a dozen girls who competed.
Eligibility for selection for this event is:
Highest ranking age-eligible and available athletes from among the #’s 1 through 3 in the weight-appropriate divisions on the 2006 year-end Juvenile A roster. Consideration MAY be given to individuals who are rostered at lighter weights but who have GROWN).
In the event more athletes are still needed to fill the team, those athletes who are age-eligible and available, and who are among the top three on the 2006 year-end Intermediate B roster, may be named.
In event no rostered athlete is available for this event, applications for spots may be considered on an individual basis by the Junior Sub-Committee.
Athletes must be aware that even though this is a tremendous training and educational experience, it is not a point event since it is exclusively a TEAM tournament. Additionally, athletes must be aware that the event is the same weekend as the 2007 High School Nationals. This may create a conflict.
Normally the individuals eligible for this event would be in Junior High and only eligible for the Middle School Nationals, which ALSO is not a point event.
The invitation period is from March 22 – 27 (five nights and six days). USA Judo will provide airfare from the home city of each selected athlete to a west coast departure point. The All-Japan Judo Federation will provide airfare to and from Tokyo. Japan also will provide hotel room with breakfast and a daily food allowance for lunch and dinner.
In the event you are interested in your child or student being selected for this event, kindly contact JIM HRBEK before January 19, 2007 close of business.
Email ONLY to JrJudoTrip@aol.com - do not use old addresses. Respond by close of business on January 19, 2007.
Great Britain Competition/Training Opportunity
Juniors born 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993
The following explains an opportunity to attend two competitions in Great Britain as well as to participate in a training camp for the week between the events.
The first event is the Junior British Open which is for all of the ages listed above (all competing together in the IJF Jr category). The Junior British Open is a USA Judo point event for the IJF Jr division only and it gives 10 points for Gold, 6 for Silver, 4 for Bronze and 2 points for fifth place.
The second event is the Senior English Open which will admit junior athletes ranked in the top five on the IJF-Junior Roster, dated Jan. 1, 2007. This will not be a point event but it IS a great opportunity for our very best juniors to get their feet wet in an international Senior event on the same plane ticket.
The plan to enable participation in both events plus the training in the week between is as follows:
Arrive in Manchester, England on Feb. 28, 2007 (this means you would have to leave the U.S. on Feb. 27). The hosts will pick up the American athletes and staff at ManchesterAirport and transport them to Kendal where they will be able to stay Wednesday and Thursday nights at a youth hostel in Kendal. The cost is 22 pounds per person per night for bed & breakfast. The group will have access to mats to train at their convenience until Friday March 2 when they will travel via mini-buses to the Junior British Open.
The Junior British Open takes place in Crawly, a town near GatwickAirport just outside London. The US delegation can book hotel for the nights of March 2 and 3 through the British Judo Association at reasonable rates. On March 4, the group will be transported back to Kendal on the mini-buses (approximately four hours). The group will then be able to stay at the Youth Hostel for the nights until departure on March 12. The hostel cost, again, is 22 pounds/person/night, a very reasonable rate for England (it works out to $42.65 according to the conversion rates as of January 5, 2007)
Throughout the week from March 4 to March 9, the group will be able to train at KendalJudoCenter which is also the venue for the English Open on March 10 and 11.
The English Open competition schedule is:
March 10: Women 63, 70, 78 +78
Men 55, 60, 66, 73
March 11: Women 44, 48, 52, 57
Men 81, 90, 100, +100
Weigh-ins are the day of the competition and all matches are five minutes.
ELIGIBILITY – Athletes MUST have been listed within the past 12 months on a USA Judo Elite roster in the Juv A, Juv B or IJF Jr divisions AND have a year of birth that falls in the 1988 – 1993 range shown above to compete in the Junior British Open and / or the training camp following the event.
In order to compete in the Senior English Open, athletes MUST be ranked in the top five on the IJF-Junior roster dated Jan. 1, 2007.
NOTE: Athletes planning to attend ONLY the Junior British Open and not the training camp following or the English Open are advised to fly into and out of LondonGatwickAirport rather than Manchester.
All interested parties contact Jim Hrbek, Junior Chairman at JrJudoTrip@aol.com by close of business on Jan. 19, 2007

New York Open Receives International B Level Ranking
USA Judo is pleased to announce that the New York Open, to be held March 10 at the New York Athletic Club, has been named as an international B Level Tournament.
Considered one of the top tournaments for male judo players in the Americas, the New York Open consistently draws competitors from more than 20 countries annually, including past Pan American and Olympic medalists.
“We are pleased and grateful to USA Judo, the New York Athletic Club and to all our friends and supporters who have helped us get to this level of competition. We will continue to remain focused on our vision to be a premier high level tournament attracting world class competitors,” said New York Open Tournament Director Dr. Mel Appelbaum (New York City, N.Y.)
Athlete points assigned for national rankings will still be determined by the governing bodies of individual nations. For U.S. athletes, C Level domestic points will be earned for Senior Elite National Roster rankings with five points designated for a gold medal, three for a silver medal, two for bronze medals and one D Level point for fifth-place finishes.
"New York is the center of sports and entertainment and USA Judo is honored to partner with the NYAC, the most prestigious athletic club in the United States to offer this tournament to judokas around the world as a B-Level event," said USA Judo CEO Jose H. Rodriguez (Colorado Springs, Colo.) "The NYAC has been a long-time supporter of judo and we're pleased to continue this tradition with the upgrading of the New York Open to be one of the few B-Level events in the Americas. USA Judo is working with the New York Open leadership to soon create an equal B level opportunity for women to address this need and continue to be leaders in the development of opportunities for women's judo."
The New York Open was founded 24 years ago as an outgrowth of the Metropolitan AAU Judo Championship which was started in the early 1960s and stopped in the mid- 1970s. It was the desire of the NYAC Judo Club to build another strong domestic event which was originally called the NYAC Judo Championship. Ten years ago the name and focus changed from appealing only to domestic athletes to expanding the focus to include athletes from around the world. The unprecedented success of the event has attracted top level domestic and international athletes who compete and enjoy the spirit of New York City. The event’s growth is directly attributable to the friendships that NYAC Judo Club's senior members have established with coaches, referees and athletes from around the world.
