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:

It’s official 💪 Well done Ted and Al on their recent Dan Gradings, 1st Dan and 2nd Dan respectively. Your achievements are now committed to Black Belt history 🥋 within the BJA/EJU/IJF 👏👏👏👏

Also a shout out to our sister clubs, Tatsfield Martial Arts and Coulsdon Martial Arts/Yoshin Ryu who also enjoyed student promotions to the elite level 🥋

Nikodem Kwiatkowski and Darcey Reynolds with their very proud Senseis - Paul Hamilton (3rd Dan Black Belt) and Pete Powell (5th Dan Black Belt).

Niko and Darcey are both champions and gold medal winners at the Hampshire Closed Championships 2024.

Both went on to represent Hampshire in the County Championship this past weekend (SUN12MAY) gaining a bronze medal for their squad.

An amazing achievement for Niko and Darcey - and an incredible proud feeling for AWE Judo and all their senseis who have coached them.

Long may their reign continue 🥋 ⭐️.
