Screaming Eagle Judo and Jiu-jitsu Open

I first want to thank all the volunteers, without you it would be impossible to have a successful tournament.  Next, I would like to thank all the teams that came from Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri and anyone else I am missing.    Finally, Lowell Slaven who came down and did both referee and coaches certification.  Without Lowell this tournament wouldn't
have happened.  I think it is also appropriate to thank North East High School.  IT was a great venue for the event and their hospitality was well worth it.  We will definitely be working more with them
in the future.

     Recently, Team Havok Judo Club purchased over 300 mats that we use at our club and to facilitate our own tournaments.  We had 2 full Judo matted areas that had full safety zones and 4 full Jiu-jitsus matted areas.  In September or October we are looking to adding Sombo as well.

Currently to my knowledge this event was the first ever in the area that combined Judo and Jiu-jitsus. Overall it was a great event and we look forward to running showsevery 3-4 months.

In addition to the competition we had:

8 people that received
Coaches Certification Level I

5 people certified
Local Referee

2 people certified
Coach Level II

2 people certified
Regional Referee

     At our next tournament we are going to try a few more things to make it a better experience for everyone.
First, I am working on getting USA Wrestling (which does wrestling and Sombo), USJA, and USA Judo to recognize each others insurance.  This way a competitor only needs one form of insurance instead of 2 or 3.  Also at our next tournament, if there is enough interest, I would like to do an absolute division and a Sombo Division. 
If you are interested please let me know.
Once again thanks to everyone and hope to see at the next tournament!
