Although we had a quiet night we were fortunate to have visitors from Senshi Judo club and East Kilbride judo club join us. We enjoyed some quality newaza coaching from John McDonald and last but not least we were also delighted to see Marine first class Leodhais McDonald back on the mat.

Sometimes it takes someone to remind you, how lucky you are. Bill Sargent Jnr pointed out that we really have an amazing diversity of players at our club. I have to agree as here is a regular night training over the summer holiday time when many clubs close, with Veterans, Adaptive, National, Visitors, Juniors, Advanced and Beginners. Not forgetting our players as young as 14 wanting to join the senior practise. Well done all, us coaches are very proud to inspire all corners of the judo community AND MOST OF ALL proud to have you.

CONGRATULATIONS ! To all our senior members who made their next grade promotions at our Senior Summer Grading - when we took over the Willow Studio @ Fresh ! 🥋

A new judo grade is an awesome achievement and represents each individuals learning journey and the hard work and effort they have put into their Judo !

We are double proud with all our members achievements and each grade was very well deserved and passed the high standards of club president Ray Taylor Sensei who completed some of the highest grade promotions on the day !
