SNJF and the BENG committee wish you a Happy New Year!

Written By admin

We hope the new year bring you all sorts of good things, and we wish you a safe and wonderful judo year!

This is an invitation for the twenty-third edition of our great tournament in Beverwijk. We are honoured and proud to be able to invite you, our guests, for this tournament that since its inception in 1998 has become the greatest in the world for judoka with a disability.
The Ben van der Eng Memorial does not select: We accept any handicap whether it is physical, mental or sensory. Our 5-grade divisioning system FCS is capable of handling anything from the most accomplished judoka to the most severely disabled ones in the safest way possible.
Indeed our Sunday’s BENG! tournament is, we can proudly say, the greatest Judo party in the world whereas the more “serious” Saturday hosts the Special Needs World Judo Games for Shiai and Kata.

Written By admin

Assumburg Castle has been booked FULL. Only small groups may be able to book in the castle. This article provides some alternatives.
Even though the Castle is booked full, please ONLY book your hotel in the following places:

  • IJmuiden (Harbour town)
  • Wijk aan Zee (Seaside, beaches close)
  • Beverwijk
  • Spaarnwoude
  • Heemskerk

Of course, if you have transportation of your own, please feel free to book anywhere you like.

If you want to book a hotel in another place and you need to use our shuttle service, please discuss this FIRST with our Logistics Coordinator: logistics@specialneedsjudo.nl

TIP1: CALL the hotel rather than trying to book on their site.

TIP2: Whatever you do, make sure you have a cancellation insurance policy. We live in uncertain times and it may save you a lot of money.

Now, here are some hotel suggestions:

Fletcher Hotel Spaarnwoude
