To establish Southend International Judo Championships as one of the best, if not the best, judo competition in Europe for Club players.
Since 2010 Southend International Judo Championships have been a regular feature on the Judo calendar. Year upon year it attracts judo players from around the UK and Europe. However, due to the large expenditure needed to run this event, it has been very difficult to develop/grow the event. The aim is to eventually have a competition with exceptional appeal, by providing a service that is second to none; First class prizes for medal winners; certificate for all particpants; low entry fee for all participants, parents; have technology that will enable us to show contest sheet updates as and when they happen online; training camp following the competition for participants. In other words make this competition into a competition no self respecting judo player or coach can say no to. Nothing happens overnight, but we hope to be able to improve the event year upon year.
All monies raised will go towards development of this event.
