The start of the contest season

There are not a lot of judo competitions in Malaysia and if you want to get more judo competition experience you'll have to also look at contests in neighboring countries like Singapore and Indonesia.

Our boys and girls in Singapore.

This week we have a bunch of players in Singapore for the Ikigai judo competition organized by The Dojo. We have 8 players competing: 4 guys and 4 girls.

This is sort of the start of the competition season. After this week, we have a competition in Penang. Then it's a short break until July when there's a competition in Lumut, Perak.

After that we'll probably have to look to Jakarta for a competition likely to be held in August.

The big competition for local players is the Senior Nationals in October. Then, nothing till December when there are competitions in Penang, Singapore and Sabah.

Competition can be stressful and pressurizing but it's also a lot of fun and allows players to bond and get to know each other better. We encourage all our players to give competition a try and we believe most of our players will eventually do so.
