Dear Student,

We welcome you and your family to our club and thank-you for selecting the JCCC JudoKai as your club of choice. At our club we teach respect, not just student to teacher, but
respect for everyone in our club. In our judo program we stress the fundamentals, but wealso emphasize having fun. We focus on effort not ability. Winning or losing are notimportant, the important thing is that we try our best. Judo is not an easy sport. It requires
physical exertion, repetition and dedication. As a new judoka, you will learn many new
exercises, drills and techniques. These may seem difficult at first, but with practice, they
will become easier. With practice everyone gets better at judo.
Our Club has a number of ways to help you keep up to date with what’s happening:Newsletter – each month a newsletter is published with information on club
activities, changes in class times, special activities and tournaments. The
newsletter is available on the Bulletin Board, and via e-mail.
E-mail – students will receive updates via the club-email list. These will include thetechniques of the week, newsletter, schedule changes, and any information thatneeds to be communicated on short notice.
Bulletin Board – outside of the dojo we have bulletin board. All the latest news is
posted each month.

As the Head Instructor I greatly appreciate the efforts and the high level of instruction
provided by the instructors who lead the classes and the Yudansha (Black belts) who
assist. Once again, thank you for joining our club.

Sincerely,
Shane LeGros
Head Instructor

History of JudoIn 1882, Judo "the Way of Gentleness" was founded by Dr. Jigoro Kano, President of the
University of Education, Tokyo. Dr. Kano developed judo into a way of life, and a sport,
based on two overarching principles concerning the development of physical, mental, andmoral culture. The first principle of judo is Seiryoku-Zenyou or "Maximum efficient use ofphysical and mental energy". The second principle of judo, as articulated by Dr. Kano is
Jita-Kyouei or "Mutual welfare and benefit". Dr. Kano opened the Kodokan to as the firstjudo Dojo. Dr. Kano’s goal was to make judo an international sport. In 1964, judo debuted
as an Olympic sport at the XVIII Olympiad summer games in Tokyo.
The IJF (International Judo Federation) is the international governing body was founded
in 1951 and is headquartered in Budapest, Hungary. IJF has over 200 National
Federations, including Canada. There are an estimated 20 million judoka worldwide
according to the IJF.

Judo at the JCCC
The JCCC Judo Kai is one of the many programs that are part of the Japanese Canadian
Cultural Centre (JCCC). The JCCC is a non-profit organization that has been bringing
Japanese culture to the GTA since 1963. Judo has been taught at the JCCC since themid-1960’s. Every Club member is first and foremost a member of the JCCC. All fees arepaid to the JCCC. Class fees are paid for in three-month sessions beginning in October,
January, April and July. All fees are paid to the JCCC. The JCCC’s greatest asset is it
volunteers. All of the JCCC’s programs are taught by volunteers, this includes all of the
JCCC Judo Kai’s instructors. It is this volunteerism that we promote, not just among the
instructors, but also the students and their families.

Club Philosophy
At our Club we teach respect, not just student to teacher, but respect for everyone in ourClub. In our judo program we stress the fundamentals with strong technical skill, but wealso emphasize having fun. We focus on effort not ability. Winning or losing are notimportant, the important thing is that we try our best. Judo is not an easy sport. It requires
physical exertion, repetition, and dedication. Our club caters to all skill levels, from therecreational judoka to the elite competitor.

Judo Ontario
Our club is a sanctioned member of Judo Ontario, the governing body for judo in Ontario.
As such all club members must also be members of Judo Ontario. The annual fee covers
the period of September thru August. There is no discount for a partial year membershipat Judo Ontario, hence we do not enforce Judo Ontario membership for any newmembers joining between April and August.

Dojo
The Dojo is the room in which judo is taught. A portrait of Kano Sensei is located at theshomen in the Dojo. Whenever entering or leaving the Dojo or mat area, one must bow
facing Kano Sensei.
In the Dojo, mudansha (non-black belts) will address yudansha (black belts), as “Sensei”.
Students are not to address black belts by their first name in the Dojo. The same applies
for non-students (e.g. parents, visitors, etc.) when inside the Dojo. Outside of the Dojo,
this rule does not apply, however, students are expected to demonstrate appropriate
respect at all times. At judo activities outside of the club (e.g. at tournaments), studentsof the JCCC Judo Kai are expected to address other club instructors as “Sensei”, and todemonstrate exemplary respectful behaviour.
No street footwear is allowed in the Dojo. This rule is to help keep our Dojo clean.
Students must wear zori (slippers) or other non-street shoes when not on the tatami (mat)between the change rooms and into the Dojo – it is not hygienic to walk barefoot outside
the Dojo. The students’ zoris should not be worn outside. If students forget their zoris,
they can wear their shoes, but they must be removed and left outside along the window
before they enter the Dojo.
Hats must be removed when in the Dojo. No food or chewing gum is permitted in the
Dojo. Sports drinks or water bottles are permitted.
At the end of class, students will be selected to clean the Dojo. This includes dry mopping
the floor and wet mopping the tatami with a disinfectant spray under the supervision of a
Yudansha.

Class
Classes begin promptly at the designated start time. It is recommended that students
enter the Dojo 10-15 minutes before the start time, except when there is a prior class insession. In which case the students will be told when they can enter the Dojo. If your childcannot get to class on time due to a previous engagement, let one of the instructors know.
If a participant arrives late to class the participant should see one of the Senseis,
apologize for being late, and ask to join the class. Children cannot be dropped off and left
unattended during classes. Parents are strongly encouraged to come into the Dojo towatch our class so you can see and hear the class instructions, as well as classannouncements – also so you are available to accompany your child should she/he needto leave class to use the washroom. If a student needs to leave class before the scheduledfinish time, the student is to request permission from the instructor in charge to leave early
before class commences. Once class has commenced, no one may leave the Dojo duringclass for any reason without requesting permission from the instructor in charge. The only
exception is for people who feel ill and must immediately go directly to the washroom.
Students are encouraged to bring relevant information to the instructor’s attention (e.g. toinform the Instructor before class if he/she has an injury or recent illness). If during classa person feels sick to his/her stomach, he / she may leave the Dojo to go immediately
and directly to the washroom. An instructor / responsible person will follow. If a student
has sustained an injury during class, he/she must inform one of the instructors
immediately, so assistance or if necessary first aid can be provided right away.
Judo is an extremely physically demanding sport. Our practices are designed to develop
and increase stamina, flexibility, balance and strength. As such it is our recommendationthat students finish all meals at least one hour before the beginning of a class. It has been
our experience that eating just before practice can lead to the student becoming ill during
the class. It is better for students to eat a light meal before class than a large meal justbefore class. Conversely, it is important to have a light meal before class, especially on
Saturday mornings. Practicing judo without eating since the previous evening may resultin dizziness, nausea and fainting.

Bowing (Reishiki – Etiquette)
Beginning of class:Students line up, with senior students (highest rank) closest to the Shomen (front of the
Dojo, furthest from the door to the Dojo), and stand/kneel in a straight line – again, senior
students closest to the Shomen, junior students closest to the door. The sempai (senior
student at the head of the line) calls out the instruction:
A
Kiotsuke! Shomen ni - rei!
B
Sensei-gata ni – rei!
End of class:Students line up as at the beginning of class, and conclude the class by “bowing out” (inreverse order to “bowing in”).
A
Kiotsuke! Sensei-gata ni- rei!
B
Shomen ni – rei!
C
Sensei-gata ni – domo agitato gozaimashita

JudogiThe standard uniform is the judogi. It is comprised of a jacket, pants, and belt. While tshirts are permitted during practice, they are prohibited in competition, except for females
who must wear a plain white t-shirt with a crew collar.
Your judogi should be always kept clean and washed regularly. If you get blood on judogi,

wash out as much of the blood right after class, then wash your judogi right away toprevent staining. Do not use bleach on your judogi, as this will weaken the fabric andreduce the durability and longevity of the judogi.
If you train often, you may want to have a second judogi to wear while one being washed.
If you are absent from judo for any prolonged period, be sure to wash your judogi and drycompletely before putting it away. A damp judogi is the perfect environment for mould.
Since a judogi is 100% cotton it will shrink. Never wash it in hot water, cold water only.
Your judogi should not be put in the dryer to dry. You can tumble your judogi for a coupleof minutes to get the wrinkles out, then it should be hung up to dry. Due to the heavy
cotton weave of the top, your judogi will take two days to dry. Once a student has beenpromoted to a colour belt, it is recommended that the belt be washed once without the
judogi so that the excess colour dye will be removed. While it is recommended to wash
you coloured belt occasionally, it is not necessary to wash your belt as often as yourjudogi.
When purchasing a new judogi, be sure to try on the top. When you raise your arms
straight out in front of you, the sleeve should reach into your palm (5 cm past your wristbone). The judogi will shrink when you first wash it. If the judogi fits perfectly before
washing, do not buy it, it is too small as it will shrink upon washing.
Alterations, such as shortening the sleeves or pant legs is permitted when the judogi is
too big for a child. Do not shorten your judogi by cutting off the sleeves or pant legs, sothat the shortened sleeves and pant legs can be let down as the child grows.
The club also has a second hand judogi program. These are used judogis that have been
donated to the club as members out grow their judogi or have ceased practicing judo.
These judogis are considerably cheaper than a new judogi. Judogi sizes are limited basedon the judogis donated to the club. Generally, the used judogis are children and young
teen sizes.

SafetyJewellery, earrings, rings, watches and hair clips can cause injury to others and theperson wearing them; therefore, they must be removed prior to class. Hair fasteners
should be elastic in nature and not contain any metal or hard plastic.
Finger and toenails must be kept short and clean to prevent scratching, and to prevent
nails from getting caught and possibly torn.
Glasses may be worn during instruction and warm up exercises and then removed while
practicing with a partner or tumbling.

Holes in a student’s judogi (uniform) can be hazardous and must be repaired upondetection. They are also easier to fix when they are small.
Any cuts must be covered with a secure protective bandage.

Tournaments
Part of every student’s learning process in judo is tournament competition. Here thestudents use what they have learned in a competitive situation. Tournament competition
is an extension of a student’s practice. The competition allows a student to test their ability
in a situation where both competitors are at a heightened level. There are basically two
types of tournaments: club tournaments and outside tournaments. Generally,
tournaments are supposed to be an enjoyable experience where students get the chance
to test their judo against students from other clubs.

Club Tournaments
There are four club tournaments per year:
October
Autumn Tournament
January
Kagami Biraki (New Year) Tournament
March
Haru Matsuri Tournament
June
Summer Tournament
There are no fees charged to our students to compete in our club tournaments. These
are small tournaments that are held in our club, for our students only. These tournaments
are usually held during our regular practice time or as a demonstration during a JCCC
event. They take approximately 2 hours. In these tournaments, students have matches
against students of the same size and ability. We usually have individual matches andteam matches. In the individual tournament the students are divided into two groups,
beginners and advanced. In the individual matches, the students are lined up by size andability. Starting with the smaller, less advanced students, matches are held where thewinner stays to fight the next person in line and the loser sits down. In the case of a draw,
both students sit down. In the team tournament, the students are divided into teams. The
teams have matches against each other, where each team member has a single matchwith the corresponding member on the opposing team. The team with more wins in thematches is the winner.
In our club tournaments, we stress effort over results. It is unimportant how many times
a student wins, but more important is how they compete. We recognize two students for
the Best Judoka: Best Judoka are selected for the beginner and the advanced or older
students. The Best Judoka are selected by the Senseis based on how well a student tried,and demonstrated good sportsmanship. Another trophy is also given for the Best NageWaza Technique, which is the best throw of the tournament.

Outside Tournaments
These are tournaments that are held outside of our Club throughout the year. These
tournaments are sanctioned by the provincial/national governing body. They are held on
weekends and may be a one-day tournament on a Saturday or Sunday or a multi-day
tournament.
Judo Ontario sanctioned tournaments are tournaments in which clubs from Ontario,
Quebec and the US send competitors. Sanctioned tournaments are governed by rules
set out by the IJF (International Judo Federation). Competitors are divided into groups byage, weight and sex. Our club restricts participation in sanctioned tournaments to yellow
belts and higher, subject to approval beforehand by the instructors that the student isready for such competition. We feel that white belts have insufficient knowledge andexperience to gain any benefit from this type of competition. There is a large difference inthe style of judo practiced by judokas in other clubs, which requires our students to havethe necessary judo knowledge to prevent being injured.
All sanctioned tournaments require competitors to weigh-in at registration, so thatcompetitors can be placed in the appropriate sex, age and weight category. Weigh-ins
are usually held the morning of the competition, but sometimes may be the evening
before. Most tournaments operate on a double elimination format, which requires twolosses to be eliminated from competition.
Sanctioned tournaments are long tournaments. They can take anywhere from 4-10 hours,
depending on the age of the competitors (older age groups usually fight later in the day).
Parents whose children compete in sanctioned tournaments can expect to spend the
majority of the day at the tournament. Weigh-in is early in morning and there may be
many hours before their children actually compete. There is often a lot of waiting aroundat these tournaments. Some reading material will help make the time go by. Somestudents bring homework to do while waiting to compete. Packing a lunch, snack anddrinks is good idea and a less expensive method of keeping the competitors fuelled fortheir matches. Students should not eat just before their matches, generally right after
weigh-in is a good time since there are a couple of hours before competition begins.

Club Gear
Club T-Shirts: We have Team JCCC Judo Kai T-shirts instock for sale. T-shirts can be purchased for $25 or two for$40. We have both children and adult sizes up to XXL

Club Jackets: We have Team JCCC Judo-Kai jacket. They are black with the club patch
embroidered on the front. Sizes are adult XXS to XXL. These are pre-ordered and theprice is $85.
Club Sweatshirts: We have sweatshirts with the club patch embroidered on the front.
They come in grey or charcoal grey in adult sizes XXS to XXL. These are pre-ordered
and the price is $70.
Embroidered Club Patches: We have club patches that can be added to any judogi orarticle of clothing. They can be purchased for $5.

Gradings
Judo ranks indicated by belt colour are recognition for a student’s proficiency in the studyof judo. Since the study is a “life-long” pursuit, a belt colour is recognition of learning a
relatively small part of an infinite “whole”.
Promotions are done through technical gradings. These gradings follow the Ontario
Provincial Grading Board format, where students are asked to perform techniques infront of instructors, and are evaluated. The aim is to provide clear grading guidelines tostudents, and to familiarize everyone with provincial grading procedures. Shime-waza(chokes) and Kansetsu-waza (joint locks) are only taught and required where age andlevel appropriate. Additional on-mat instruction aimed at grading preparation is provided
prior to every grading. Students are required to get instructor permission to grade.
A second pathway is merit-based promotion for students who distinguish themselves
through their judo activities. This will apply only for U16, up to Sankyu. This is where
instructors feel that a student deserves to be given a higher rank based on their attitude,
motivation, and performance above others of equal age and belt level.
Evaluated at every level:
Ukemi (Breakfalls)-Mae-ukemi - Forward breakfall-Koho-ukemi (Ushiro-ukemi) - Backward breakfall-Yoko-ukemi – Side breakfall-Zempo-kaiten (Mae-mawari-ukemi) – Rolling forward breakfall, Staying down foryellow. Staying down and returning to feet for all other levels.
Etiquette- Proper etiquette during the grading will be observed including elements such as judogi,
belt, proper bowing, seiza and standing.
Uchikomi-Uchikomi basics will be evaluated at all levels to evaluate a student’s knowledge ofkuzushi, and the basics of judo mechanics.
Previous Techniques- A random selection of techniques from previous levels will be selected to evaluate astudent’s retention.
For Sankyu (Green Belt) and above:- Shime-waza (Chokes) 14+, Kansetsu-waza (Joint locks) 16+, In accordance with Judo
