Following our judo session with royalnavyjudo, Liam and Matthew took us on a very informative tour of HMS Queen Elizabeth.
It was great learning about all of the different features of the ship and how the crew work to keep everything operational. We got to get our hands on the navigation bridge, had a race on the flight deck and a quick game of darts too!

Some of our Edinburgh Judo players hit the mats this weekend at Saturdayโs Granite City Grand Prix in Aberdeen.
It was Szymonโs first competition and he did a great job throughout the day. No medal this time, but a good performance to kick off the beginning of his competitive journey.
For the others there were wins, losses and lots of opportunities to learn and grow. Thereโs always something positive to take away from a tournament; whether the result is what you hoped for or not. How you win, how you lose and how you move forward are whatโs key!

Congratulations to EdinburghJudoโs newest 1st Dan, Finn T ๐
Finn received the final points required for his black belt back in March and successfully completed his theory exam down in South Shields at the weekend.
Finnโs consistency and increased commitment to training over the last year has shown itself through his recent results in competition and now in achieving his black belt. We look forward to seeing Finn continue to work hard on the mat, in the gym and putting in the time to develop his judo further as a 1st Dan - the real work starts now!
Well done Finn! ๐ค๐ฅ๐ค
