History
The Judo society was first mentioned through an advertisement for students in the McGarel in January 1975. The society was fully licensed by The British Judo Association and had a well-qualified instructor. Members of the society were graded according to the BJA rules, and wore coloured belts correlating to the grades they were awarded with. Training usually took place on Tuesdays 4.30pm-8pm, Wednesdays 11am-1pm and Saturdays at 11am-1pm at 309 Regents Street. During the academic year of 1975/76, training took place in the Games Room at Regents Street on Wednesday 1pm-3pm. In December 1975, the society started competing in competitions against other institutions and polytechnics against the likes of University College London’s bluebelt and white belt members. Within several months of the society existing, many members quickly began developing skills and were already being awarded with grades.
