On Jan. 11 there will be a seminar on the new 2025 rules. I received the below message about this event.
Here is the link for the flyer.
————————————–
Brian Toth is participating in the 2025 IJF Referee and Coach Seminar in Istanbul, Turkey this weekend to learn about the new IJF competition rules that will be implemented starting on January 1, 2025. Given that he is learning first hand about the new rules, we thought that hosting a rule seminar as soon as possible is the best chance to give everyone in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska the longest runway to get their students adapted to the new rules.
We would like everyone to save Saturday, January 11, 2025 from 9AM to 4PM at Kentridge High School in Kent, Washington on their calendar so that all Judo NW and Alaska referee, coaches, instructors, and high-level athletes can come together to learn about the rules first hand. By now, I think everyone in the Judo NW and Alaska are already duel or triple members, but for this seminar, everyone attending this event must have an USA Judo or ATJA membership. Here is the link if someone needs the 45-day trial membership https://www.usajudo.com/membership
Attached is the event flyer and online registration link. If anyone has any questions about this event, please let me know.
Thank you!

Wanted to let everyone know that we are having practice on Tuesday 11/26. Come and get a workout in before all the eating begins!
