Choosing the right platform for a judo club's online presence is crucial for its growth and community engagement.

Congratulations to our referees who have successfully passed the National C Referee theory course and the Club/Area Referee Theory course.

Well done guys! 🙌

It’s a proud moment when this happens…..

ikram98911 started judo at 12 years of age and after a lot of hard work and perseverance and competing all over the country … at 19 years old gets all his points to get his black belt.

So many people start judo but only a small percentage achieve obtaining their black belt it’s a massive achievement.

Ikram received his final points at a Dan Grading a few weeks back and recently passed his additional theory and is now a 1st Dan Black Belt and Level 1 Qualified coach.

This weekend we were very excited to learn the black belt theory starting with kata. These young judokas have been accumulating competition points and are now looking to have the theory signed off ready for achieving their 1st Dans. We wish them good luck!

Congratulations to all who were grading tonight and those grading at Shoreham Judo later in the week! It's great to see you moving on and such hard work on and off the mat to know your theory and techniques. 🎖👏🥋☺️

Brilliant effort from all of our seniors on Friday, covering Sangaku Jime and a driving O Uchi Gari (with the aid of the crash mats so we could really finish those throws off 😆)

See you all again next Friday where we will be starting to work on some theory with the intention of getting some Gradings done 😁👍
