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:

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

Hello everyone. We are very much looking forward to hosting our Annual Rumble competition this coming Sunday. It looks set to be a cracking day with approximately 225 entrants (over 3 mats) from age 4 to veterans. We have gone through all entries, and for any size/experiance anomalies, we have emailed coaches. Most of these relate to 7yr old kinders who due to size or experiance, we will likely move up to contest with our 8yr old primaries, a category where in most other competitions, they would contest in anyway. However we pride ourselves in providing a really positive contest experiance

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

A great effort today by Bradley, Cody & Maddison competing at the Western Area Open. They all displayed some excellent judo wining several contest with big Ippons. A big well done from everyone at the club.
Bradley 🥈
Cody 🥉
Maddison 🥈

Good contest from Jake at Nottingham last Sunday, considering his competitor was a higher grade' Well done Jake from all at RJC

The countdown to Paris is on,

and we couldn't be more thrilled! Who wants a fantastic booklet that lets your young judoka track the medal winners and answer fun questions every day?

This booklet is packed with prompts to get them thinking and learning:
• Can they spot different throws?
• What was their favorite contest of the day?
• Who was the champion that impressed them the most and why?

There's also space to record all the action:
• Fill out the names of the eight medal winners each day
• Write down their thoughts on the day’s judo

Huge thanks to Koka Kids Junior Judo Magazine fo

It was a long but rewarding day for some of our senior Shia Squad at the Kent International Judo Championships 2024 which was held at Medway Park Sports Centre at the end of June ! 🥋🥋🥋🥋

Bekzat took part in both the Masters and Senior groups while both Daisy and Yonas took part in the Junior and Senior groups ! Simeon was unable to enter himself but made the journey as warm up partner and assistant coach.

It was a long day with plenty of high level contests for all - with great displays of determination and judo skill along with some convincing ippon scores ! 🥳

Great results for all the Squ

Hi All, last chance to enter the camps colouring in contest
Ping over a photo on our members FB page or this page or our messenger account by 10pm tonight (don't forget the glitter 😁)

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

15-16.6.24 - Birmingham European Junior Cup.

Congratulations to Luke Davies for earning a gold medal at the Birmingham Cup, winning all contests by ippon. Having been out for a few months due to injury, it’s been really exciting to have him reach 2 finals out of two at his first international events back.

Maddy Birri placed 7th while Peter Davies won his first contest spectacularly but couldn’t convert it into a placing this time. Corey was the 4th member of the team, gaining experience for the events to come.

Thank you to Fighting Films, Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) and Spo
