I would now question the value of these All Japan Championships- Preview trials as a fair means of selecting players for the National Squads.

The British team were not invited to participate because. I believe, that the British Judo Association have failed to reciprocate, by not inviting France to participate in a similar competition. The good news is that the British Judo Association Management Committee have taken steps to correct this and July 1983 is the projected date ])m~ for the first of which I hope will become an annual event to which the top judo nations in the World will be invited. I am already excited by the prospect of seeing teams like Japan, France and the Soviet Union coming to Great Britain.

Manchester M24 4JF. capable of both defending against and defeating opponents who possess a much wider range of techniques than one Would normally encounter in a global Open category tournament which ordinarily comprises onty heavyweights, and so offers only a fairly narrow technique range. These two factolS give, I thInk, some indication of the stiff competition and hence great difficulty of capturing this coveted title, Even Sumto Endo, 1975 World Heavyweight Champion and 1979 World Open Cnampion, who entered the All Japan Championship every year from 1971 until 1981 won this tournament only ooce in 1976. Accordingly, it would seem that in ordel to achieve a global Open weight title one must be a good contest man, but in order to win the All Japan Judo Championship one must be even better. The final six rounds Of this renowned Judo event are held annually at the Budokan, Tokyo, on the Japanese Emperor's birthday, 29th April, which is designated e national holiday. This day in particular is deamed the most appropriate one on which to hold tha Finals, for the victor's trophy which is presented to the Champion by the head of the Kadokan, Mr Yukimitsu Kano, is the prestigious Emperor's Cup. However, before finals' day, all contestants who wish to enter this tournament must first light in their local area elimination contests, except that is. for the defending Champion, who is given a bye, For the purpose of this Championship, Japan is divided into ten areas. Annual elimination contests are held in each of these areas in either February or March; both the champion and nmner-up from each area go forward to the Budokan on 29th AprH as their area's representatives.
