News from Down-Under, "Middle Earth" and the home of University Judo. The President of the All Japan Masters Judo Association has invited Rick Littlewood, 8th dan, to be a director of the All Japan Masters Judo Association which he has accepted.
Those of you who follow All Japan High Grade Masters competition will know that Rick has competed every year for 25 years, often taking gold for his division.
To our knowledge, this is the first time in the history of the All Japan Masters Judo that a non-Japanese has been appointed as a Director. To be selected by such a prestigious international judo organization recognizes the time and effort that Rick has put into the promotion of judo. Rick considers this a great honor, second only to being selected as the first New Zealand judoka to compete in the Olympic Games (Munich, 1972).
