AMERICAN ZEN JUDO HANDBOOK ON THE WEB
Thanks to our Webmaster, Andrew Ross, pretty soon we will have the entire American Zen Judo handbook on the web. That will include not only history, reishiki, and time-in-grade pages, but also the materials we study for each one of the belts. In the U.S. students take a written test along with each grading that includes history questions (i.e., "Who founded Zen Judo?" or "When was Zen Judo founded?") and Japanese terms (i.e., what's the translation for "Kubi Nage" or "Ashi Gake"?). For security purposes the written test materials will be available through the use of a password, but all Zen Judoka will have access to the password. Again, thanks Andrew for the good work!

THATCHAM ZEN JUDO WEEKEND
Sensei Mike Healy is trying to arrange a training weekend for the Thatcham Zen Judo club. He would like to make it available to all members of the Zen Judo families. One of our privileges as Zen Judo Sensei is to try and support our fellow Yudansha in their efforts to create special trainings. Those bring the families together.
If you can, and would like to attend please let Mike know and if there are any areas on which you would like to contribute by instructing so that he can put together a programme for the event. Since Mike only has a limited number of contact names and addresses, he is asking us to please pass this on to other Judoka. Also, please reply as soon as you possibly can so that he can get on with booking the hall and so forth. Send all your e-mails to Mike Healy (4th Dan BZJFA ) at mike.healy@sjpp.co.uk.
