Attended the 2010 HHSAA State Judo Championships at the Stan Sheriff Center on May 8, 2010. Coverage includes pictures of selected matches.

Notes/Observations:

It was great to see the number of participants from all the schools and the support for them as well. There were some critics before the start of the season who stated that with the IJF rule changes there would be a big drop in numbers of judoka. From what I saw, judo is alive and well in the islands.

With matches being conducted on six mats simultaneously, it was hectic and impossible to keep track of match details. Therefore, the following coverage includes various pictures of selected matches from non-finals matches (1st round, quarterfinals, semifinals, consolation rounds) with no captions that celebrate the spirit of the State Judo Championships.
