A personal statement from me (Ross)
Recently at the Western Area Judo Association AGM, I was voted onto the executive committee as Vice-Chairman. I intend to take this role extremely seriously and I am intending to work very hard for our area.
With this in mind, I have today resigned as Chairman of Drake Judo & Martial Arts. I will retain a seat on our executive board and my coaching and physical volunteering will remain unchanged. My personal role within Drake on the executive side will continue to focus on building relationships with other clubs and martial arts, whilst always focusing on

Ross travelled over the bridge to Saltash yesterday evening to deliver a Judo session to the juniors and senior players Centaur Jiu Jitsu
It was a fantastic experience for both clubs (hopefully) the head coach is Jamie who is a Black Belt BJJ who has won a host of medals,
Collaboration is the way forward!! #drakejudo #centaurbjj

So DJC has been working with CheckMat Plymouth BJJ for a little bit now and we are starting to see some really good Judo players emerging, balancing the 2 (Judo & BJJ) can be very tricky to start with but the progress has been wonderful
Massive shout outs to Jessica Jennings for assistant coaching with me every week!!
Also shout out to Ricky Bellingham who has shown so much support for the class with his presence and leadership
If you are interested it starts at 6am every Tuesday Morning for an hour (Death Squad)

Sunday the 16th of July saw Drake Judo hold our 2nd Club closed competition of the year,
These competitions were created to be able to gently introduce some of our younger players to competition and to help train other volunteers in timekeeping, table officiating and refereeing,
We had over 60 Drake Judo members from Plymouth, Tavistock, Sherford and Par with Bristol conducting their own version last week with 25 Drake Judo members there...
A big thankyou to all the volunteers from all clubs who help to make it happen especially from our Par club and a big thankyou to Tournament Director C
