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:

Today the club is 3 years old.

No big song and dance this year, the next major milestone will be 5 years!

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been part of this club. Past and present. To everyone that has helped in anyway in the development of the club. Coaches, students and the many favours I have called in to make the club what you see today.

Judo isn’t just about throws and pins; it’s a martial art grounded in respect, courtesy, and discipline. Here are some essential Judo etiquette principles we uphold on and off the mat:

1️⃣ Bow with Respect: The traditional bow (rei) signifies respect for your sensei, training partners, and the art itself. It’s a silent gesture of gratitude and honor.

2️⃣ Cleanliness is Key: Keep your gi (uniform) and yourself clean. For example, wash your gi regularly and keep your nails cut. It’s a sign of respect for your fellow Judoka and the dojo environment.

3️⃣ Mind Your
