Today we celebrated our 13th year anniversary. Commonwealth Champion Daniel Powell delivered a great masterclass with Gavin Davies in support.

The community came together to help the wider community. We made a £200 donation to cubed tax who are currently collecting for Westcroft school. The donation will be used to help build a sensory room at the school. This is in line with Dr Kano’s principle of using judo to make a positive contribution to society.

Thank you to Jolly Catering for the donation of samosas and to Mr Singh’s Pizza for the pizzas they went down a treat!

Great work by all the judokas and we look forward to seeing them grow and develop further.

Well done to Harkirat and Pia on receiving silver and bronze medals respectively at Samurai Judo Club today. The girls showed great courage for their first tournament.

Once again we had the man in the middle in the thick of the action.

Well done to A***n and Frank on receiving bronze medals at Samurai Judo Club today. Your biggest hurdle at times can be yourself but the boys stepped onto the competition mat for the first time showing courage.

We also had representation from our newly promoted National C referee Laksh, continuing his refereeing journey.
