πŸ₯‹πŸ† Competition Report πŸ†πŸ₯‹

5 Kitsune Gari Judoka entered the National Championships this weekend...

And walked away with 4 medals! πŸ”₯

πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆ 2 Silver Medals
πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰ 2 Bronze Medals

A fantastic effort from the team and a great day of traditional judo competition.

Traditional judo is what our club was built on. Strong fundamentals, respect, resilience and leg grabs allowed πŸ€ͺ, testing yourself on the tatami against quality opposition. It was great to see our players back doing exactly that. πŸ‘ŠπŸ₯‹

The medals are a bonus, but the real win is getting back out there, representing the club, gaining experience, and continuing to develop as judoka.

We’re proud of everyone who stepped onto the mat and represented Kitsune Gari with the right attitude and spirit. πŸ¦ŠπŸ’™

This is just the beginning...

More training. More competitions. More lessons learned. More medals to chase. πŸ”₯

Kitsune Gari is officially back on the competition circuit.

We’ll see you on the tatami. πŸ‘ŠπŸ₯‹

Why Judo is one of the best martial arts you can learn πŸ₯‹

Real fights rarely start squared up. They begin with grabs, shoves, clinches, or surprise attacks from behind β€” and that’s exactly where Judo lives. Judo is built around real human contact, balance disruption, and control, making it one of the most practical martial arts for real-world situations.

Judo develops both standing and ground combat. You learn how to control an opponent on your feet, take them down safely, and maintain dominance on the ground. Many confrontations end up on the floor β€” Judo prepares you for every phase.

One of the most valuable skills in Judo is learning how to fall. Falls cause more injuries than strikes. Judo teaches you how to land safely, instinctively, and under pressure β€” a skill that transfers into everyday life, sport, and long-term physical resilience.

Although Judo is trained in a gi, this makes it even more realistic. Most people are attacked fully clothed. Sleeves, collars, jackets β€” Judo teaches you how to control and defend using real-world grips.

Beyond self-defence, Judo builds functional strength, balance, discipline, confidence, and calm under pressure. It’s not about chaos or aggression β€” it’s about control, efficiency, and respect.

Judo isn’t just a martial art.
It’s a life skill.
