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:

Will you be enjoying watching the Olympic Games Opening Cermony which starts very soon in Paris.

If you are, did you know, the International Olympic Committee has 206 National Olympic Committees spread across 5 continents, and 122 of those nations will be represented in the judo event, that’s 60%, showing just how far judo has spread across the world 😁

And did you also know that 28 of the flag bearers named so far (23% of all the nations flag bearers) will be judoka 😊 How fantastic is that for our amazing sport 😁😊🥋

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
