As a player, Reece was Scottish Champion, a British medallist and a British team member on several occasions. He also won internationa

Congratulations to EdinburghJudo’s newest 1st Dan, Finn T 🎉
Finn received the final points required for his black belt back in March and successfully completed his theory exam down in South Shields at the weekend.
Finn’s consistency and increased commitment to training over the last year has shown itself through his recent results in competition and now in achieving his black belt. We look forward to seeing Finn continue to work hard on the mat, in the gym and putting in the time to develop his judo further as a 1st Dan - the real work starts now!
Well done Finn! 🤜💥🤛

Great effort from Archie, Ash, Dan, Evan, Josh, Kirsty and Patrick with both points and valuable experience gained on their journeys to becoming black belts.
