***************************************************************************************
Please note the following
special Certification announcement by Tim Schultheis,
President of Illinois Judo. The First Aid and CPR certification and
re-certification is being presented this Sunday from 1:00 – 3:30pm at the
Gurnee Fire Department (see flyer above). While late in notification,
many folks need to have this re-cert on an annual basis to maintain the USA
Judo Coaches Certification. Proof of certification is a
requirement so if you do not attend this one, please make every effort
to attend another one on your own.
EDITORIAL – DYNAMIC JUDO
DYNAMIC JUDO – this is
going to be the operative phrase at the International level for a long time to
come. Dynamic Judo will involve every aspect of training, coaching,
refereeing, and teaching. Understanding this will make you a better
competitor, referee and coach. It will not be an easy transition because
while the rules will not change that much, understanding how the rules apply
will affect how you play the game. It will have far-reaching affect on
· Field of Play (inside and outside) including
equipment and judogi requirements
· Tachiwaza and Newaza (standing
and ground techniques)
· Penalties (minor and major)
· Scoring (from Ippon to no
score)
· Kaeshi waza (counters)
· Action – Inaction
· Golden Score
· Referee and Judges Actions During
a Contest
· The New World Order of European Influence
· Medical Protocols for Seniors
and Juniors
· Safety Issues
· The Fairness Doctrine
· Professionalism in Refereeing
· Coach/Competitor Protest Protocols
· Video Taping Protocols (CARE)
· Demonstrations of top level techniques not
generally seen at the local or even National levels
will be demonstrated mat side
The outline listed above
will be the basis of a lecture series to be started after the first of the
year. It will be introduced at the Referee/Teachers Clinic in Milwaukee
on January 26th and will be in conjunction with the Wahadachi Judo Tournament on the 27th. All
coaches, players, referees and interested parties should attend. While
these are my own opinions, they will be based on commonly observed patterns of
behaviors from referees, players and coaches from across 5 unions at the
highest international levels. If you have any questions, please feel free
to attend and learn.
LOCAL NEWS

From the IJI President and coincidentally, Tournament Director of the Gurnee Veteran’s Day Tournament A couple of announcements. First, our friend,
Battalion Chief Barry Henby of the Gurnee Fire
Department, has graciously offered to provide a First-Aid and CPR class &
certification for Illinois
Judo and our neighboring coaches. As you know, this is a requirement
for our coaching certification. Barry will conduct the class &
certification this Sunday, 2 Dec, from 1:00 - 3:30 PM at Fire Station 1, 4580 Grand Avenue,
Gurnee. Please arrive on time and plan to stay the duration if you
intend to receive certification. Apologize if you are receiving this
announcement to late to be useful. Second, we still have not narrowed
down where/when we are going to hold the 2008 Illinois Judo
Championships. More to follow soon. Third, our IJI Treasurer has
prepared a current financial statement for our organization. Please see
attachment. Bottom line: IJI held many camps & clinics and
distributed numerous promotional items this year all within budget without
depleting our prior year's balance. Thanks Frank for your continued efforts. Fourth, we appreciate all those
who competed in and supported the Gurnee Veteran's Day
Tournament, 10 Nov 07. This latest IJI event was a great success.
