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:

Wirral Judo Club have...
2 new Dan grades on their first attempt!
Massive congratulations to Jake and Joe, who were only graded to 1st Kyu in July, both won their line ups today to achieve the goal of 'Black Belt'.🥋

A great big well done to Sharon who had 6 tough fights against higher grades. No points today, but she is getting better every time she steps on the mat. The points will come and the new belt with it.
Keep working hard snd believe in yourself.👏🥋💪

Welcome Back Clarky! ✍️🔵🌕

The club are delighted to re-sign Ryan Clarke!

After leaving the club last summer to join Buckfastleigh, Clarky has decided to return to the club!

An excellent midfielder, with a massive work rate! Clarky’s composure on ball and passing ability really strengthens our midfield, he’s also got a goal or 10 in him as well!

Having previously won the Devon & Exeter Prem with Lapford, Clarkys experience will really help the club to attempt promotion back to the Prem at the first time of asking!

Welcome Back Clarky!

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

The junior session was taken by Liam and during the warmup he learned a valuable lesson in instructions and interpretation when dealing with young judoka. The first part of the session was centered around Osoto Otoshi. After a full demonstration the juniors paired up and went off to practice in the form of Uchi Komi but without the throw completion. Eventually the safety mats were introduced and then they practiced the whole technique to completion with players changing partners regularly. Next was a demonstration of Mune Gatame and again they moved off to practice this. Finally they were show

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.

A couple of months ago, we hosted a seminar with my instructor Steve Campbell. We also handed out the clubs first black belt to Matt Wild 🥋

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
