Konan Rank Evaluation Registration Reminder

Entry Registration Recommendation:

Senseis and Judokas: In order to expedite the registration process at both the upcoming Konan events at MSU, we would appreciate if entrants would print off the entry form/waiver for both the tournament and USJF registration (if needed) in advance and fill them out with requisite info and approvals from parents and senseis. This will allow us to generate competition pools quicker and minimize lines at registration.

Click here for the tournament forms and click here for USJF registration .

We would appreciate your help with this to make our tournament more efficient.

Remember you need to bring both a blue and white belt for competition.
