Greetings:
We are late this year in having our bi-annual
meeting due to so many conflicting judo related dates and due to the change in
the US Open moving from September to October the bi-annual Wisconsin Fall
Meeting and Ne Waza Clinic scheduled for that weekend in October will need to
be switched into September as October is filled and November is heading that
way with judo related activities of which we do not wish to compete. UW Stevens
Point has offered to host the Meeting/Clinic for the Autumn event.
This meeting will be held SUNDAY (normally
Saturdays) June 4th as
Meeting is Sunday 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and a
postcard is being sent out to all Wisconsin USJI Judoka and after lunch
we'll have a Tachi Waza (throwing techniques of any variety - combinations,
counters, regular throws, unique types of throws etc. ) at 12:30 p.m.
for youngsters 12 and under for an hour or so so then teens and
above after that. In the past any Black Belt willing to teach graced the mat
with their favorite throw(s) and all of us benefited from the experience. For
you that receive this e-mail please help us grow Midwest Judo by helping us
Sunday June 4th. Please RSVP to Brett as soon as possible so we can
relate/communicate to each of you with the techniques you wish to share. Some
of the Black Belts that haven't computers I will personally call by phone.

USA Judo
President Dr Ron Tripp talks to IJF.org
It has been all
change in USA Judo in recent months and president of the US Judo Federation Dr Ron Tripp is very excited about the future. Fresh
from holding a successful Pan-American Junior and Junior Championships,
followed by the Junior US Open, at the Olympic Training Camp in Colorado
Springs, Dr Tripp was simply buzzing about the changes afoot in judo under his
organisation. Things had been running along relatively smoothly until the US
Olympic Committee (USOC) decreed it was time for national sports governing
bodies to shape up.
“We have met with
the USOC about restructuring our bylaws. You see, two years ago the USOC went
under restructuring due to a congressional mandate that forced it to make
changes to run more efficiently or the Government would come in to take over,”
explained Dr Tripp. “They went from 125 members to 11. After that, there was a
mandate introduced to image the business model of the USOC that went out to
every sport the US participates in. They reached
into a hat to decided who to deal with first and taekwondo came out first,
wrestling second and then judo. This process started last year, we brought it
to our members in October, there were some obstacles in November and December
and then we came up with a draft in February.”
The USOC were not
completely satisfied with the initial draft so US Judo went back to work on it.
“We rang them up and said, what is it you want from us because we want to be
the best partner possible for you,” said Dr Tripp. “We realise that we are
dependent on their funds and they on their public image because the USOC is not
like other countries like Britain that gets
lottery funding. It relies only on donations, they don’t take any tax dollars.
It’s like the Red Cross, they need corporate sponsors or donations from the
public. So it was very important from a business standpoint to be compliant
with what the USOC wanted. We took a mirror image of the USOC business
operations that applied to judo with the USOC focus on best practices, and
finally, in their opinion, they were happy we were compliant in moving towards
the same role model.”
One of the
previous stumbling blocks was two competing organisations: the US Association
and the US Federation. After the 1980 Sports Act these joined forces to create
USA Judo but they remained largely independent of each other and that meant
there were still cases of the right hand not knowing what the left hand was
doing. “There was to some degree a battle for control,” said Dr Tripp. “But my
position has always been that we have two parties in America,
Republicans and Democrats, but let’s first be Americans. That’s what we tried
to preach to USA Judo. You can be USA Association or USA Federation but be USA
Judo first as one team and then fight the philosophical battles when it doesn’t
hurt the sport. The USOC had sent a message that they didn’t want to have
competing organisations to have control of national bodies. The document was
very tough because things had been in the comfort zone so long that it was
difficult to change. But on the positive side, the funds from the USOC are
based upon our ability to succeed in governance and as a business. They see
their business model as successful and now we’re imaging that. Now they are
going to try to maximise our funding which could see our funds double.”
USA Judo had lost
around 150,000 dollars in funding because they were not compliant. Their
funding had dropped from a little over 500,000 dollars to 380,000 dollars. But
now it could become higher than ever before thanks to the body’s more
professional outlook. “What we have done well is establish a national office
and their focus is under the operation of professionals. Athletes and
volunteers matriculate into the service of the sport and they are great people
and they want to give a lot but they are not necessarily the best people for
the jobs – the best people are always professionals. It’s like you or I trying
to mend a fence, we can do an ok job and look at it and think that’s ok, but it
could be better. The USOC wants professional staff and professionals
tournaments, coaches and CEOs. For the last year now, we have had Jose
Rodriguez as our CEO. He is a professional who is not affiliated to judo. Also
the board of directors must have two members from a business rather than judo
background. We’re expected now to be able to move ahead and earn our own way through
membership, certifications, revenues, events, attendance and television
broadcasting and that’s how we’re going to do it.”
What this means is
a complete restructuring at the top with the 10-person board of directors made
up of specific individuals. Two will be from an independent background, two
athletes, one each from each of the two subsidiary organisations, the
Association and the Federation, with two more selected from the general
assembly and two more elected by the board. Dr Tripp will run as president
until 2008 and then the board will elect it’s own president with Dr Tripp
staying on in a consultancy capacity for another two to four years. But anyone
who is worried about the new moves meaning too much power will be centred at
the top is mistaken. Power will be spread through the masses but decisions will
be taken by the leaders.
“We can’t demand
accountability without releasing authority,” explained Dr Tripp. “I can’t
demand the best from you if I don’t allow you to do the things you want. Also
the board and the national CEO leadership is not controlled or driven by a
constituency based mechanism anymore. Jose doesn’t respond every day to voters
because no-one votes for him. The board becomes independent with no
responsibility to the states, although the states will have input. The USOC
wants a business approach that may not be tainted by politics. When people are
up for election they make promises about what is going to be done or what is
going to change. But all that will be eliminated. That will happen only in the
general assembly. Someone who wants to come on the board of directors will be
politicking at that level as opposed to politics interfering with the general
operations of the business. Our business as a board through the elections will
continue to go on because only two or four people will be rotated on the board
and will have very little impact at that point in time on the business that is
taking place. We will support the USA Federation and USA Association but they
can’t dictate what we will be doing. What we are doing is removing that popular
voter pressure and that’s good business practice.”
Meet the CEO of
USA Judo: Jose Rodriguez
For the last year,
USA Judo has been in the capable hands of Jose Rodriguez, the new,
professional, non-judo CEO. USA Judo’s choice couldn’t have come with any more pedigree
than Rodriguez, the sports director for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, former
member of the Florida Government officer for physical fitness and sports and
executive committee member of US Track and Field. As such, Rodriguez is the
main man in charge of USA Judo’s new business outlook. “As the CEO, I head up
the entire business side of the organisation and little by little we are
becoming less volunteer driven and more pay driven,” said Rodriguez.
“Volunteers give us guidance and we as administrators take us there and that’s
how it is working out and I hope it will continue to.”
That was the main
focus for USA Judo when the United States Olympic Committee said it was time to
restructure – bring professionals in to do the jobs of professionals rather than
relying on willing but limited volunteers. USA Judo has come a lo0ng way since
then and last month held it’s first Junior USA Cup at the Olympic training
centre in Colorado Springs. “This competition came
about because Mr (Jaime) Casanova (PJU president) requested that we hold a
Pan-American Juniors in the US. It was supposed to be in Miami but three months
ago we decided to move to this site,” said Rodriguez. “We really appreciate all
the Pan-American countries accepting this change because we feel here there is
an aura. There is something about being in Olympic centre. And it is great for
the athletes because it is at high altitude. 2,400-metres really puts athletes
in a good state of stamina to see how good a shape they are in.” It certainly
did that, testing some athletes to their cardiovascular limits. A handful of
athletes more accustomed to training at sea level did struggle with one
Brazilian fighter even fainting but no-one suffered any serious injuries or
problems and everyone agreed they had benefited from the experience. “Many
coaches from other Pan-American countries came here before so they knew it was
at altitude. This is why the Olympic centre is here because it’s good to test
the athletes and their stamina. These athletes were in great shape because not
many had a hard time. And it was hard.”
The event was not
just about organising the Pan-American Juvenile and Junior tournaments, but
also the first ever women’s refereeing clinic and the US Junior Cup. “Along the
lines of the Pan-American Championships, the PJU asked us to hold the first
ever Pan-American refereeing clinic,” added Rodriguez. There was also a women’s
refereeing seminar, the first of it’s kind in the region, which attracted
referees from all over the world. “We had a total of 32 countries represented
with 36 women for the seminar. We had people from just about everywhere. We
teamed up with the PJU and we paid one part and they paid part of the bill.”
Half the referees on the seminar were going for their licence and half went for
the hemispheric licence. Only three failed from 18, which was a great
achievement. “This is a first, the clinic was a first, here in the US we’re true believers in getting women involved in sport so when the
PJU approached us, this was right up our alley.”
“All the national
sports governing bodies in the US are encouraged to
develop a role for women in sports. It was a great opportunity not only in
Latin America but also in the US. Then we said ‘hey, while we have all these
athletes here, why not give the US kids the chance to match up with some of
these great junior athletes from the Pan-American world, especially knowing
that Brazil and the rest are bringing a great team.’ We invited junior athletes
from the US and as it so happened, Brazil brought an extra 18 athletes, so did
Puerto Rico and Canada bring extra competitors.” With all the extra athletes
converging on Colorado Springs to take part in three fantastic events,
Rodriguez decided everything needed to be jazzed up a little to make the competitions
look more professional and spectacular, for the public as well as the athletes.
“This is what we are trying to do with US judo,” he added. “We are trying to do
things in a different classic way, playing more music, doing more promotions,
spending more money on the set-up and flowers. That wasn’t the case a few years
back but this was an opportunity to open the doors to the Pan-American family
and say ‘US judo is not business as usual, this is a completely different way
of doing business.’ We tell everyone you can expect a lot of great things to
happen in judo in the US now. After all, the US pays the most amount of rights
fees in the Olympic Games and judo is an Olympic sport, so why not take
advantage of that.”
The new US Junior
competition really caught the imagination and the turn-out was impressive with
more than 260 athletes signing up to compete, many from around the US, eager to
pit their skills and strengths against some of the best junior and juvenile
fighters form across the entire Pan-American region. “We were up to 263
athletes on the morning of the competition which was a pretty good number. We
were expecting about 260-280 and considering the shortness of time we had to
inform everyone, we’re ecstatic with that. For the first year it is great.” And
Rodriguez was pleased with the performances of the US
athletes, who until now do not have a great tradition in world judo, barring a
few special exceptions such as Mike Swain or Jimmy Pedro. “The ones that were
supposed to win won, and the ones we were not sure were going to win a gold
medal didn’t but at least we picked up lot of bronze and silver medals that we
were not expecting, It was a great tune-up for the Junior World championships
in the Dominican Republic in October.”

This
then is my son’s response – always the careful one, he suggests absolutes are
not always what they seem. Please read what he says and take necessary
precautions. Don’t put off seemingly unimportant symptoms – especially
you guys!! Thanks. Kei
This
is a very good reminder, but also remember that the number one killer in the US is myocardial infarction (Heart Attack
or MI). It is always better to be safe than sorry and never blow off
seemingly benign symptoms. While classically MI presents with chest pain,
also be weary of shortness of breath, generalized weakness or not feeling well,
diaphoresis (sweating), or referred pain (pain in the left arm or
jaw/neck). Also, upper abdominal pain can be a symptom of MI.
Another
note is that the neurologist who claims to be able to cure stroke if presenting
to the hospital within 3 hours has some caveats. First, it must be a
specific type of stroke, and even if it is the right stroke, it still may not
be curable. You also have to consider which hospital you are going
to. If they do not have a neurologist, there are very few emergency
medicine doctors who will use the powerful medications to reverse stroke.
It has not been proven to be a perfect cure. Some of the side effects of
these medicines include massive intestinal bleeding and bleeding into the
brain. Also, some strokes called TIA or RIND, resolve without any
intervention at all, so are we willing to use medications with such devastating
side effects if in fact the stroke will resolve on it own?
Nothing
in medicine is 100%. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either foolish or
arrogant. They say when you take the tests that get you into medical
school or the medical boards that answers with always or never in them are
never a good choice.
Just
a little commentary from the family doctor.
