Eligibility Criteria
Bursary Application (Excel)
From 1st January 2011
Leg Grab & Blocking Rule
As from January the 1st
2011 any grips of the leg(s) whilst initiating a technique or blocking with one
or two hands or with one or two arms below the belt whilst
performing a technique will be disqualified
with a direct Hansoku-make. This is in line with the current ruling of the IJF.
From
the 1st January 2010 the BJA decided that we would give a shido for the first
infringement of leg grabbing or blocking whilst players and coaches became
accustomed to the new ruling. This was taking into account the changes players
had to make to adjust to the new rule.
This new ruling has
clearly improved the standard of upright judo and reduced the negative
‘wrestling type’ judo at both senior and junior level. The rules that we apply
both for junior and senior judo in Great Britain are the current international
judo rules with the exception of the modified rules for U12’s.
The NRC and the members of
the Board are consciously aware of the need to encourage judo at junior level
without the fear of immediate disqualification for ‘accidently’ grabbing a leg
or blocking without intent.
Therefore, the following
restrictions will be applied at BJA events:-
All Senior Events:-
Immediate(direct)Hansoku-make for leg grabs and blocking.
In line with current rules, this direct Hansoku-make will be for that contest
only.
U16’s to Over 12’s:-
Shido for the first infringement, Hansoku-make for the 2nd
infringement. Exception to this age category is the British Championships when
full rules will be applied with Hansoku-make for the 1st infringement
as this rule will be applied if they are competing aboard at an international
event.
U12’s:-
Shido for 1st offence and shido for any subsequent offences up to
Han-soku-make if necessary and an explanation given.
These rules will be
inserted as an exception into the BJA rules as from the 1st January
2011.
