Colin Carrotts Folkestone Open Judo Championships this Sunday is going great guns so far he has 150 entries on an event where we were expecting 80 players, Keith Costa tells me he will be running the Garden of England Judo Championships in November in Sittingbourne but this year he will be using accumalative rules ie 1pt Koka 2pts Yuko 5pt Waza ari and 10pt Ippon first one to 10pts and more importantly he will be using Pre 2009 rules With the IBF Multi Nations in May "2nd Battle of Hastings" to enter all you need is an IBF license. So maybe Judo is picking up.
