FRIDAY: INTERNATIONAL JUDO PROJECT 1000

World Judofamily

World Judofamily: Int. platform with the aim of promoting and spreading the judo values and judo in terms of its founder Jigoro Kano.
Judo is much more than a martial art. The facets of judo are many and varied. Judo celebrates its values such as politeness, respect, helpfulness, honesty, seriousness, modesty, appreciation, friendship, courage, self-control and also education. These are not just buzzwords, but these values are also reflected in the training. Franz Kofler puts all these values into context with the topics of peace and nature. With these ingredients, the project 1000 was launched in 2017.

Franz Kofler

Franz Kofler, 6th Dan, A-licence trainer, trainer since 1978,

The idea of combining the values of judo with peace and nature also requires an authentic dissemination of the topics. Franz Kofler set himself the goal of visiting 1000 clubs in 10 years, holding 1000 training sessions there and, for the most part, for the sake of nature, managing everything in an environmentally friendly and exemplary manner by bike and tent. The goal was also to finally cycle from Austria to Japan and bring the experiences and messages to the Kodokan (birthplace of judo). However, due to the current geopolitical situation, this is not possible or would involve great danger to life and limb. There is an alternative, his 2024 tour, which will also take him to the 2024 AdlerCup in Frankfurt.

Greeting

Lord Mayor of Frankfurt, Mike Josef

Dear athletes, dear organisation team,
dear guests, spectators and parents,

I am extremely pleased that the Adler Cup will be held in Frankfurt am Main for the 7th time this year. It is the largest youth judo tournament in the world, for which I, as Lord Mayor of the City of Frankfurt am Main, am of course happy to assume patronage.

The Adler Cup is a great example of how the city of Frankfurt am Main sees itself as a fully comprehensive sports city. This does not only include football, basketball or ice hockey. Rather, we also promote sports that are not in the limelight every day, but are so important for the sporting diversity of our city. Judo in particular, with its values such as sporting ambition, but also outstanding comradely fairness, is a flagship for us. We are very pleased that the elite of the international judo youth will be guests in Kalbach again this year.

Once again, children and their parents will make the journey to fight here in Frankfurt am Main, some of them with extremely long journeys. This underlines the international relevance of the Adler Cup and fits perfectly with our international city.

I would like to sincerely thank TSG Nordwest 1898 and their many volunteers for putting so much energy into the Adler Cup again this year and making it a great event for the sport of judo. They are a wonderful example of the importance of volunteering and are representative of the more than 420 sports clubs in our city. Thank you very much for your commitment!

In a nutshell: What better place to hold the Adler Cup than in Frankfurt am Main. I wish you exciting competitions, the greatest possible sporting success and a wonderful time in our wonderful city. Good luck!

Yours

Lord Mayor of Frankfurt, Mike Josef

Greeting

Minister of Sport of the State of Hesse, Diana Stolz

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
Dear athletes,

On behalf of the Hessian state government, I would like to welcome you to the 8th edition of the Adler Cup – probably the largest children’s and youth judo tournament in the sporting state of Hesse.

Once again this year, up to 2,000 children and young people from around 40 nations will be taking part in the competition weekend organised by TSG Nordwest 1898 Frankfurt am Main. The Adler Cup, which was held for the first time ten years ago, has built up an excellent reputation in junior judo sport over the years, especially beyond our national borders. As the patron of this year’s event and as the Hessian Minister of Sport, I am particularly pleased that so many young athletes are once again competing for medals at the Kalbach Sports and Leisure Centre.

Such a large and well-established tournament cannot be organised by itself. It requires an excellently functioning organisation team, many helpers and numerous established judges, who all work together and put their heart and soul into the sport of judo. My heartfelt thanks therefore go to everyone involved, without whom such a big tournament weekend in the metropolis on the River Main would not be possible. I would also like to thank the families and friends who support the young athletes and make their participation in the tournament possible.

I wish all the children and young people every success at the Adler Cup 2024, lots of fun and a good time at TSG Nordwest 1898 Frankfurt am Main and in the sporting state of Hesse.

With sporting greetings

Yours
Diana Stolz

Minister of Sport of the State of Hesse

Adler Cup has grown to one of the largest European judo youth tournaments and in order to maintain our professionalism and respect for Judo, we are looking for scoreboard keepers and timekeepers that are aiding the referees per competition tatami. Scoreboard keepers and timekeepers will work with a special Adler Cup version of the well known judo software: Meisterschaftsmanager, in our case a network version with multiple planning features added to the standard set, but easy to operate. We will pay an allowance per accepted applicant supporting Adler Cup in these very important roles. This might be an interesting role for young referees with smaller national licenses.
