About SUKT
SUKT is a Kyu grade Judo competition organised by Sheffield University Judo Club.
The event is aimed at all kyu grade judokas, from beginners looking for a chance to try out competitive Judo for the first time as well as brown belt fighters hoping to earn points towards their first dan.
While SUKT is a Judo competition hosted by a university club, it is open to any kyu grade Judoka with a BJA licence.
The first SUKT was held in 2010 and we continue to work to improve the event year on year.
