Hi there. AL13 may be slightly higher than the expected grade for either HC and RI. Minimally must be top3 in the Nationals and deemed capable to handle the IP course. Iirc, last year (sec1 in 2023) RI took in ZERO for Judo and 2 only in 2022. So it means even if u are the best, no guarantees.

Perhaps AL13 can be mitigated by midyr P5 or P4? So… no harm just try lah. Big question is does ur son train in SA Judo (HC) or TDJ (RI) or neither? Coach can help advise and speak to the teacher-in-charge to put up their respective case.

On the other hand, SJI (under SOJ) may have higher probability of acceptance. Hope this helps and all the best!

Hi AHsDad, thanks for your insight. Definitely helps! From your reply, RI should b out of our league. My son with SA judo. Been talking to the coaches at the academy but their replies are very generic. Like grades must be AL 6 below, say HCI see grades first. Maybe must talk to the head coach directly & attend open house in May.

Hi all, any one knows about DSA Judo to HC,RI,SJI? My son has AL13 for P5 EOY. He is quite good in his Judo, brown belt, won gold in all club competitions. Should he even try HC and RI ?
