When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

BIG THANKS ! To Dr Katrina McDonald for delivering a brilliant and well researched Judo Coaching Course today "Finding Your Feet" ! 🙂

Stuart and Brian attended the seminar hosted by United Judo Club in Kent - where participants switched their judo suits for casual clothing to take part in real terms.

We are super excited to be planning to launch the 'Finding your Feet' classes soon at Ely Dojo !🥳🥋

These classes have been developed by Dr McDonald at Anglia Ruskin University and Dr Callan at the University of Hertfordshire. The purpose is to help our older aged community have better balance,

The 6 hours Young/Youth Coaching Development Course was held on Saturday 20th April. They covered the requirements of basic coaching both in theory and in practice. They now have to progress through year 1 development from their coaching course folder and take an assessment at the end of each month. On successful completion of year 1 theory and practise they will have to attend the Year 2 coaching course next April. Here are some of the photos from the course.
