Well done to Oscar who fought at the Keizoku event in Ravenscraig. The event is aimed at Judoka looking to take a step outside of the club to competition.
He did fantastically well in his first competition managing to win 2 fights, gaining a lot of experience and mat time. Oscar showed great judo, throwing both left and right as well as showing off his newaza skills in the matches. Well done Oscar! Well deserved medal for your hard work.

Andy was an integral part of the judo community and a stalwart of EKJC. We share our sadness at the news of his passing and wish his wife, Margaret, and his family our best wishes at this time.
Andy you will be missed by so many, and by all those you had such a positive impact upon as the sensei of our judo club.

The Scottish All Stars Championships were held at Ravenscraig today. We had several players competing, some at their first competition! This event is a development event maximising the time each player has on the mat. This resulted in all players showing off their great judo skills in tachiwaza and newaza by scoring ippon! The coaches are very proud of everyone's effort today. Although the focus is on players skill development there were well earned medals to take home. Well done all!
