A New Year and New Challenges for Judo in Britain.  

The GB Judo Community has been at the forefront of #MakingChangeHappen in recent years. 
From improved safeguarding to British Judo publishing articles about international competitions with British Judoka competing.

The foundation of judo in Britain has and will always be grassroots judo coaches.  

Since 2017, the two BJA Chairs, Ronnie Saez & Gerry Gaultieri, have, with their secret handful of "Executives", collected over 3 million pounds in payments, on top of any salaries.  
For unknown work.  

While the BJA coaches have worked tirelessly with recruiting and retaining members along with organising and grading these. 
Not only have they sent all BJA membership and grading fees to BJA Head Office but have had to pay to be a member of the organisation they are the foundation of. 

So please sign and share this petition for the British Judo Association Ltd (the BJA) to show coaches the respect they deserve!
