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,

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

Best part of having a GB full timer as part of your team??
Other full timers come and take sessions for the kids, just because!! 🥰

We were all squished up in the squash courts today thanks to the BJJ Devon Open which kept some people away but those who showed up had a real treat as they had a session with our very own Max Gregory along with Rhys Thompson and Michael Fryer!!

A lot of fun was had all round and Rhys even treated the kids to pictures with his Commonwealth Bronze Medal!!

Thanks guys…look forward to seeing you again soon!!! 😁

All members are invited (and encouraged) to attend, if you are 18 and over then you are a member, if you are U18 then your parent or guardian holds the membership representing you

AGM's have a reputation for being somewhat boring, However... at this meeting I will be discussing the most monumental change for DJC since we founded...

We would really like your opinion on it and your questions, so please please make an extra effort to attend,

If you have your child with you thats fine, or they can join Gary's clas

Very very proud of our brother and sister team who were today up at the Scottish Open, Max returned after a long long injury lay off and wasnt feeling very well on the day but still fought through to take home a Bronze
Cordelia won her pool and was in with some very experienced ladies as she begins her campaign at seniors and also came away with a Bronze

So so proud of them (many thanks to Gary for coaching from the chair)

Also well done to Rhys who won gold in the U100's 😉
