Genesis Interclub Tournament
Sunday 13th July
High Wycombe Judo Centre
Barry Close, High Wycombe, Bucks, HP12 4UE
9am – 1pm
Subject to category numbers, all Dragons and smaller Juniors will compete under points fighting rules. Larger Juniors, along with Teenagers and Adults, will follow light contact rules.
Where possible, we will aim to ensure that each student has a minimum of two fights.
On the day, the running order will be: Dragons first, followed by Juniors, with Teenagers and Adults scheduled last.
Spectators’ tickets will be available online until the day of the event.
The competition is for all students at all levels. Students will be split into categories based on their weight and grade, to make the competition as fair as possible for everyone taking part.
Points fighting rules.
Dragons and Juniors categories will be points fighting only and will be 1 x 1:30 minute round. The stop start formula provides for some exciting matches, allows children to gain experience in a controlled environment.
1 point – Punch to the head or body; kick to the body.
2 points – Kick to the head; jumping kick to the body.
3 points – Jumping kick to the head.
Light contact Rules
Teens and adults will be fighting light contact for 1 x 2 minute round where the winner is awarded by judges decision after time has been called. Continuous fighting requires more stamina and better defence than point fighting.
On the day, the competition will run from 9:30am with the winner’s presentation after.
Please be aware, students need full protective equipment to compete in the competition. This includes a head guard (with protection on top of the head), mouth guard, boxing gloves, shin guards and foot pads (with heal padding and covering the toes) and a groin guard. (Groin guards must be worn under Gi bottoms).
Rules for the day.
- Students will need to stay close to their area and be ready in their sparring equipment so that they can hear when they are called to fight;
- No kicks or punches to the back, or below the waist;
- Strikes to the back of the head do count;
- Please feel free to cheer your fighter on, but be respectful of other competitors. This is a family competition and will be a great experience for those taking part, so please bare that in mind when giving your support;
- Please show positive support for winners and losers;
- Respect is very important in martial arts so please do not question our officials.
- Student’s will not be able to compete without full protective equipment, or if their protective equipment is inappropriate. Eg for MMA, too small, damage or substandard.
