Choosing the right platform for a judo club's online presence is crucial for its growth and community engagement. While Facebook is a popular and versatile social network, Judo Connect offers specific advantages tailored to the needs and aspirations of judo clubs. Here are three main reasons why Judo Connect is a better choice for a judo club compared to using Facebook as their primary social network:

A weekend of competitive Judo for a dozen MSMAS Judo Players of all ages and abilities

3 x Gold Medals ~ 1 each by first timers Lewis & Poppy plus one more to Marguerite …

3 x Silver Medals ~ 1 to first timer Dorothy and then two others to Bastien & Serafym …

6 x Bronze Medals ~ 1 to first timer Theo, then 5 more to Torin, Benjamin, Amy, George and Dan

In addition, both Amy and George won their first 10 x points towards their fully competitive BJA Black Belts !!

A great weekend out for all our Players, friends and families attending in support

Thanks especially to 'Little Chris'

I once received an award from the BJA that I refused to accept, a close friend once wanted to nominate me for a red and white belt that I never ever wanted anyway, frankly all I ever want to do was teach and help children and promote judo.
The past 6 months I have had the opportunity to coach at Wortham Primary School in Suffolk. As the years roll by it does not get any easier to coach however, I yet again experienced children and indeed the staff at the school that make it all worthwhile. To be presented on my last day with a present and a card signed by all those incredible children pounds

If anyone is interested in Refereeing for Judo a course at Croydon JC has been organised by Surrey BJA - see jnfo below 👇💪👍🏼
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Free judo sessions at the National Centre at Walsall this weekend. These sessions are perfect for those wanting to test their skills against other judo players from around the county. Open to children (8+) in the earlier session through to seniors and masters.

1) Ensure you take your child's BJA licence for production at the weigh in.
2) Girl players must wear a white T shirt under their judo jacket and remove anything metal from the body-even hair bands. Hair must be tied back too.
3) Please ensure judo suits are clean and that finger nails and toe nails are short and not a danger to the opponents.
4) Take bottles of water and make sure that our players have flip flops or suitable foot attire as I do not want our players wal

Hard day for the boys yesterday; Lewis fought well, but didn’t medal. Hari, again fought well and came 5th.

Dylan did amazingly and made it to the final , but was a bit unfortunate, however still won silver which is his second silver medal in as many competitions.

Well done to you all for showing up and not giving up.
