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:

**Modestas Bukauskas Triumphs at UFC 304**

In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Modestas Bukauskas emerged victorious at UFC 304. Overcoming significant adversity, Bukauskas showcased his resilience and technical prowess, securing a third-round submission win.

Throughout the fight, Bukauskas demonstrated exceptional striking and grappling abilities, keeping his opponent on the defensive. His precision and tactical approach were evident, as he effectively controlled the pace and maintained a strategic advantage.

This victory marks a significant milestone in Bukauskas’s caree

We have been covering the leg drag pass recently. I like this when loose passing on the outside.

Control the hips and keep them their hips facing the other way. They will either turn away, you take the back or pass. Turn back into you, get your knee to the floor and stay heavy.

You can cook someone in this position, so when you get it, don't rush 💪

There was lots of juji gatame drilling yesterday evening. We made sure that uke was controlled in the position with good body position and leg control. We then trained how to finish the armlock using this neat trick. It works a treat! It really unlocks a strong grip. If you like the video and share I’ll post the Koji Komoro (Komlock) armlock that we practiced too!

Our training phase of exploring tai otoshi, kesa gatame and juji gatame came to an end yesterday. We trainined how to turn uke from a strong turtle position using a figure four arm control and a neat little flick of the foot against the knee. Class ended with newaza randori aiming to get an armlock and then plenty of standing randori. Some great tai otoshis on show!!

It's Judoka of the week time!
A big well done to Isabel for demonstrating the Fallon roll with excellent control and speed!
Another big well done to Logan for his seamless combination of Uchi-mata and O-Uchi Gari.
Well done 🥋🎉

Throw of the night.. great control. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Today we have got a favourite from nekodajudo_93 Nekoda Davis - Judo Athlete

O Soto (Major Outer Throw)

Nekoda is an amazing Team GB athlete who we have shown her O Soto in the past. In her gold medal performance in the Brasilia Grand Slam 2019 Gram Slam, we saw the throw executed perfectly.

2, Generate the reaction to the throw and allow your opponent to Jigotia
3, Strike your opponent's leg of the sleeve you control in a sweeping motion
4, While striking with your free hand place it on your opponent's fo
