As a Chief Instructor of a "Traditional" Judo Club, I have been following the UKCC saga with interest. The recent U turn by the BJC regarding first Contest and now apparently Kata seems to be filtering down to the local club level and I have just read in the local paper the following:-
"It totally vindicates what we try to achieve as a club, spending Monday evenings practicing the ancient art of judo, based on ju-jitsu - focusing on technique rather than competition fighting, which is more the focus of other clubs and more suited to the national centres of excellence like Camberley and Dartford".
I wonder if this an isolated case or an indication that the BJA have decided that it would be more fun as “pirates, outlaws and renegades.”
What do you think ?
