Katame-waza ura-no-kata

The aim of this course is to introduce players to Katame-Waza Ura-No-Kata (Forms of Counter Techniques in Groundwork). This kata focuses on the principles of responding to and countering an opponent’s attempts to apply osaekomi-waza (hold-downs), shime-waza (strangulation techniques), and kansetsu-waza (joint locks). Katame-Waza Ura-No-Kata consists of a structured series of techniques demonstrating effective use of timing, positioning, control, and escape, followed by the application of decisive counter-techniques. The course provides an excellent opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of ne-waza principles, tactical awareness, and their application in contest situations and self-defence. This is a British Judo Association Licensed Coach Education Course and is worth one credit. The course is limited to 20 places due to the size of the tatami. Eligibility requirements: • Current FULL BJA membership • Minimum grade of 3rd Kyu (Green Belt) Participants are ideally encouraged to attend with a partner to practise with; however, we will endeavour to pair up individuals where required. Further information available from: This is a British Judo Licenced Coach Education / Revalidation Course

Sooxanne Rolfe- Wilde Volk

This one-hour talk by Sooxanne Rolfe brings together a vivid exploration of European ritual culture, drawing on fieldwork across the Romanian bear dances ( Jocul Ursului ), Bulgaria’s Festival of Surva, Kukeri traditions, and Hungary’s Busójárás. Across these rituals, communities transform themselves into animals, spirits, and mythic figures through elaborate costumes of fur, horns, bells, straw, and carved masks. These performances form powerful seasonal rites intended to drive away evil, ensure fertility, and mark the transition into a new year. Rooted in layered pagan, agricultural, and Christian traditions, they unfold in rural landscapes through overwhelming sensory experiences, where the pounding of drums, the clashing of bells, and the intensity of collective movement generate immersive environments of renewal and shared identity. Through storytelling, field recordings, and visual documentation, Sooxanne reveals how these embodied practices connect participants to their deep cultural histories that remain active in the present.
