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'

Well done to Rylee and Neeson at the Nottingham open
Rylee took bronze at -55kg cadets then took a well earned bronze at senior men -60kg and more points toward his black belt won winning 6 or 7 of his 12 contests on the day fought very well may have won a few more on another day!

Neeson had not the best start to his day loosing 3 of his first 5 contests and missing out on medal but more than made up for it at senior men -73kg going on a run of 7 consecutive wins including the fastest contest of the day finishing the match within 3 seconds only to be denied the final on a wrong decision imo

A big congratulations to our judoka at The Shizentai Rumble 2024! They all did extremely well and all medalled. It’s so great watching the younger judoka doing so well in class and that translating to the competitions. Keep up the great work!

Thomas Stacey - silver medalist
Shain Rickman - gold medalist
Seb Armstrong - gold mesalist
Edward miller - bronze medalist

2024 Western Area Open

On Saturday 20th July our lone wolf George headed up to Bath to compete in the Western Area Open.
Competing in the Cadet U60kg category, George had a bye in the first round & then won his quarter final with two different throws, each scoring wazari. Unfortunately, in the semi final he was held down by the eventual gold medallist & so dropped into the Bronze medal match. In this contest George got back to winning ways, once again winning with another two throws, each scoring wazari to take a well deserved Bronze.
Well done George, it's great to have an IJC player medall

Big well done to those who fought at the Western area open today.

Ollie - Gold

Archie - Silver

Harvey - Bronze

Jack - 5th (first competition since 2020)

Tilly - Unplaced

A difficult comp but lots of positives to take 🏆

Sakaurians fighting this weekend.
Nicholas winning gold 🥇 in the Fallon cup. Dominant attacking judo.
Alex winning silver 🥈in an Aja comp in Birmingham. Excellent tai otoshi.
Jeevan winning bronze 🥉 in the Nottingham open. Some good ashi waza and big throws.
Well done.

Well done to our two competitors today at the Nottingham open.
Jack had two very good 'Uchi-mata' ippon wins and then three losses. High level of players in his pool - He got Bronze in a three way tie. Klaudijus two wins 0 losses. A variety of techniques showcased Sumi-gaeshi, Uchi-mata and great leg scissors from open guard too. Well deserved Gold!!

At the Don Werner memorial competition at Brentwood Essex we had just William in action. Two wins saw him progress to the semi final and like the Kent International suffer a defeat that left him with yet another bronze medal. It is somewhat bizarre to say I was more pleased with his losing fight simply because of his mature fight management. It may sound crazy but he did everything right other than win the contest but that is not to take anything away from his conqueror who thoroughly deserved his win and eventual gold medal. We do not have many players I am prepared to risk outside the Easter

Well done to Paige, Ella-Rae and Dexter who took part in the Higham and Rushden Novice and Red Belt Rumble, last weekend.

Gold to Ella-Rae
Bronze to Dexter
Bronze to Paige

Well done to everyone who competed today at United Judo 💪💪🦈🦈
