Sturton Judo Club

Last night several of our Judo Tots Class (3-4 year olds) earned their first belt in judo. Lots of smiles all round!

One very proud coach seeing how much they’ve come on and how they’re improving every week - loving their first steps in their Judo journey 🙂👏🏻

If you have an energetic 3 or 4 year old that would like to give Judo a go drop us a message to arrange their free trial lesson!

A Strong Weekend for SJC at York! 🏆
Saturday: Seniors & Veterans
Saturday saw Jacob and Rohan take to the mats, supported by Coach Jo. Following a series of strong performances, Jacob secured a hard-earned Silver medal, narrowly missing out on the top spot. Rohan started with great intent and fought well, but just missed out on a podium finish on this occasion.

Sunday: The Dan Grading
Rohan returned to the mats on Sunday for the Dan Grading, with Jo matside once again. He put on an exceptional performance, going unbeaten across 4 fights - reeling in 3 Ippon wins and a draw. Unfortunately, there were no official lineups running on the day to make an attempt at securing his 2nd Dan in one go, but it was a fantastic outing nonetheless.

A massive congratulations to Jacob and Rohan for representing the club so well, and a huge thank you to Jo for her relentless coaching and support across the entire weekend.
