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:

This morning, we were lucky enough to welcome Lydia, Emma, and Joli, the lovely 'goldador' puppy, to Beachborough!
We are launching a new charity initiative, to support Dogs for Good - UK and become a puppy partner. So, this morning, Emma and Lydia delivered an insightful assembly to the children, to explain what makes Dogs for Good so special.
A trained dog supports children and adults, who find everyday life challenging, particularly those suffering with dementia, autism, or a physical disability. Dogs can be trained to open doors, call a lift, pick up shopping, help people get dressed,

Said goodbye to Phil today
During the eulogy talking about being a forklift and lorry driver. I smiled at a memory of Phil telling me he fell out of the back lorry, he went straight into Mae Ukemi (forward breakfall) got up an brushed himself off.
Then looked around to see if anyone was watching, secretly hoping....they would have been impressed ๐ฅ๐

Write up from Saturdays fight show on cage warriors
We had 3 fighters showcase on one of the biggest promotions going, up first we had tom_cheung_creasey unfortunately lost to a unanimous decision coming against a tough opponent but always has a heart of a lion and lifts his head up high and be ready for the next one.
Next we had willdragocurrie a very wrestle heavy fight once Will shot in taking it to the ground. The pressure pace and damage was enough to make his opponent think better of it to come out for more of the same signalling he has had enough quitting on the stall unable to come

Suffice it to say, sheโs a unit!

Well, theyโre uplifting, family-friendly judo festivals, where children can show their families and friends what theyโve learned in class.

Okuri Ashi Barai
This one is all in the timing, but when done right it looks amazing.
1, Make uke move to the side.
2, Just as ukeโs legs come together sweep them out from underneath uke. Use the sole of your foot. Keep the movement fluid and smooth.
3, Donโt forget to use your hands! Lift ukeโs body upwards.

Well good morning everyone who is still here๐.
We are now seeing some real light at the end of this very long dark tunnel.
So here's hopefully some really good news for everyone.....
As Boris has said if the numbers of infections and deaths etc go to plan we hopefully will see a lifting of all restrictions on the 21st of June.
We are hoping, fingers crossed that the Marham club will open on Thursday the 24th of June.
Other clubs probably won't start until September but Marham will get up and running.
We expect to be quiet on return with many members lost but we will re-build! So please help sp
