Mini / Maxi Mon, Kyu & Dan Grades Competition

A full day of judo, challenge, achievement and unforgettable moments and this year it includes Dan Grades! 

Northern Ireland’s most exciting spring judo event is back — and this year promises more action, more development opportunities, and more unforgettable moments for judoka of all ages.

On Sunday 10th May 2026, competitors from across the province will step onto the tatami at the superb Foyle Arena,, ready to test their skills, build confidence, and chase a place on the podium.

This year, based on feedback from our membership we have added Dan grades as well!

Why This Event Stands Out

Balanced Groups for Every Judoka

Players are grouped by age, weight and grade, ensuring competitive, well‑matched contests that support development at every level.

Small Pools = More Fights

With a maximum of six competitors per pool, every judoka gets multiple contests — ideal for experience, learning, and progression.

Medals in Every Group

Each pool awards Gold, Silver and two Bronzes, giving every competitor a real chance to shine.
