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:

Feel free to also ask yours!

1. What inspired you to get involved with judo?

When I was a child, my mum decided to take my older brother and me to a local judo club because we were constantly fighting at home. She hoped it would help channel our energy in a more positive direction.

2. How long have you been involved with and supporting the judo community, and what k

We thought you might like to look back at some of the highlights from the mini club championships we held just before the summer break. We were so proud of everyone that took part and how well they competed and what excellent sportsmanship they all showed 😊🥋 and we were very grateful for all the help our adults gave in order to help run the event 😁👍 thank you 😊

Can your little judoka tie their own judo belt 🤔

That’s a very important skill for them to learn, so any help you can give them to learn that would be great. It will also help them get ready for our belt tying challenge coming soon.

Get them cracking on learning either of the two ways to tie their belt shown on this video and then see just how fast they can do that for themselves ⏱️ 😁👍

Great session last night. We had the pleasure of Carl blackbeltgooner and Richard visiting from lutonschoolofjudo . Massive thanks to Carl for taking the session and passing his knowledge on. Looking forward to seeing both again very soon. #BritishJudoAssociation #britishjudo #lutonjudo #stotfoldjudo #nhcjudo #britishjudocouncil

Our beginners, basics and fundamentals class had a big challenge this week as we were looking at Guruma techniques across all our sessions.

They did amazingly well with some tricky throws, so much so that we had to increase our stars of the week! Everyone could have been selected but on the night Hannah, Nancy, Beaudon and Reuben stood out a little more with Reuben getting the overall star.

The junior session was taken by Liam and during the warmup he learned a valuable lesson in instructions and interpretation when dealing with young judoka. The first part of the session was centered around Osoto Otoshi. After a full demonstration the juniors paired up and went off to practice in the form of Uchi Komi but without the throw completion. Eventually the safety mats were introduced and then they practiced the whole technique to completion with players changing partners regularly. Next was a demonstration of Mune Gatame and again they moved off to practice this. Finally they were show
