Human Being Active are proud to be part of the management team that will bring for the first time, one of the Worlds most prestigious martial art sports events to our country.

The Commonwealth Judo Association are delighted to announce that the 2012 Commonwealth Judo Championships has been awarded to Wales. The Welsh Judo Association will host the event in January 2012 in Cardiff's - Wales Millennium Centre. It will be the first time for a sports event to be hosted within this beautiful venue.

The WJA has established a dedicated events management team, including HBA, managing the projects commercial and marketing strategy. To deliver a world class event, the team will be working closely with the Welsh Assembly Government - Major Events Unit, recently involved in delivering the Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor.

The CJA Bid Committee had a difficult decision to select from the two candidates, including Wales and South Africa. South Africa will host the 2011 IJF World Junior Championships.

Welsh Judo Association Chairman, Keven Williams said, “Wales is proud to be hosting this event, we plan to run the largest ever Commonwealth Championships and welcome the world to Cardiff to enjoy some traditional Welsh hospitality. We are sure that many nations will see this event as a springboard to the Olympic and Paralympic Games later that year, and also to the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Many thanks to the CJA for entrusting their faith in us and the events management team.”

The Championships are likely to be attended by around 30 Nations with 1200 athletes over a three day Competition. In fact the Event is a 12 day program to include Commonwealth Judo Association congress, event set up, three days of competition and a three day 2012 pre-games training Camp to include a tour of the London 2012 Olympic training and competition Venues.

Judo and its related activities is a popular and rapidly growing sport in Wales and the UK as a whole. In Wales alone there are over 60 Judo clubs. The WJA and the Welsh Assembly Government are actively looking to promote Judo at all levels in our community, not just at its events and clubs but also through the schools, college and other networks.

Further awareness and positive perception of the sport and the benefits it can bring to the community will be greatly enhanced by the legacy of the Commonwealth Judo Championships 2012.

There will be a brand new Human Being Active event for 2011. The Llanelli Waterside - HBA-5-10-20 will add to the growing list of Human Being Acvtive events that will encourage people to move towards and stay with a healthy active lifestyle.

The event will take place on the 4th December 2011 and participants can choose to run over a 5, 10, or 20 mile course.

Supported by Carmarthenshire County Council and the Llanelli Star, the event will attract runners from accross the UK and provide a significant boost the the Llanelli economy.

The  terrain will be mostly flat and is within the beauty of Carmarthenshires award winning Millennium Coastal Park. It will be suitable for runners of all abilities and will also include a corporate challenge.

The HBA-5-10-20 event will be in support of the Wales based charity TENOVUS.

At Tenovus their aims are simple: to help prevent, treat and find a cure for cancer.

In doing that they offer support, advice and treatment for cancer patients, information on cancer prevention and funding for research to improve the outcomes for people with cancer. They do this where it is needed most - right at the heart of the community.
