Faversham Invitation
FAVERSHAM Invitation Judo Championship
On Sunday I attended the Faversham Judo Club’s Invitation
Judo Championships, which attracted over 100 Judoka. The event was very well
run and I was particularly impressed with the standard of Dress of officials
All with Dark trousers, white shirt or blouse. Men wearing IBF Ties with
Faversham Judo Club embossed on them, this reminded me of the days when all IBF
Officials wore Blazers etc. and looked smart. Today it is difficult to get
Officials and most want to have casual dress. Miles Brown and has done a good
job in promoting Referees and this showed with many more probation referees
learning their trade at this competition and I was quite impressed with them.
Faversham have good support from all its members and parents and this paid
dividends when organising this tournament. Well done Trevor Davies George
Holbrook Sue Tanner Miles Brown and all those who helped
IBF Clubs have several Judo Comps for the Future, Faversham
Judo Club are running a major tournament later on in the year in a much bigger
Hall, Spitfire Judo Club will be organising a major event at the Burston Hotel
Folkestone and next year the IBF multination’s will be held at the same event.
Young Judo Club have 4 tournaments this year to be held at their Dojo in
Sittingbourne. There is also IBF Open in Holland in April anyone interested
should contact Colin Carrott.
The one thing we do need is Referees so if you are
interested in becoming a referee contact Miles Brown
Attending these competitions are always fun but when you
have your youngest grandson George entering his first big competition and
winning Gold it always makes the event better. I had intended retiring as IBF
UK President in 2 years time but I have been inundated with people asking me to
stay plus I feel I have still a lot to offer so my retirement will be put on
hold

IBF News
Dear Members
Membership for Individuals, Coaches, Clubs is due March 28th
once again the IBF has kept the price the same as previous years, can I remind
you that once your membership expires so does the Insurance. Membership
decreased by 25 people last year , so we need you all to promote the IBF
Keeping people interested in what we do is becoming very
difficult apart from the hundreds of different Martial Arts Styles and
Associations; Society has change dramatically in the last 20 years. The
Computer age has produced people who want something instantly and we all know
to be good at Martial Arts you need to train long and hard. Standards
throughout have also changed when I started Judo back in the 1950’s someone who
had a Blue Belt or Brown Belt was held in awe then we moved to the 1970’s and a
Black Belt was someone special the late 1990’s you saw the occasional Red &
White Belt an honour bestowed on exceptional Martial Arts Practitioners, now it
seems that this high accolade is given just because of longevity rather then
ability, we even have 6 year old Black Belts.
So Martial Arts has certainly changed over the last 60 years is it for the
better or worse that is for you to decide
The IBF recently held its AGM and the main subject was Judo,
Greg Garside brought up the need for change with regard to 1st Dan
examination this was discussed at length and was agreed to have a radical
overhaul of the Syllabus this will be for our IBF Technical Panel of Trevor
Davies 6th Dan, John Clarke 6th Dan, Colin Carrott 5th
Dan and Keith Costa 4th Dan to organise and hopefully will be
concluded ASAP
Miles Brown brought up the subject of Judo Referees and how
we are short of these people; he also went on to explain the new IJF Rules,
which seem to change on a regular basis. I suggested that a referee’s award be
included in the 1st Dan syllabus this was roundly rejected. The emphasis
should be on the Coach to encourage their student to become Referees
John Clarke said he running many small Judo tournaments in
Sittingbourne which are very popular
Trevor Davies also told us of a Major Judo Tournament in
Faversham organised by Faversham Judo Club the last one the club held was a great success and had entrants from many
different Clubs and Associations
Colin Carrott will be taking Judoka to IBF Dutch Open in
April anyone interested should contact him direct. He also said that IBF
International have asked him and John to organise the IBF Multi Nations in
2019. This will be held at the Burston Hotel Folkestone. Colin will be running
a Judo event later on in the year’ at the Venue in preparation for the 2019.
