A Licence is not just for grading

Posted on November 19, 2018

 

The recent grading highlighted that a significant number of player’s licences were out of date.

We would like to remind all players and parents that your licence is a key requirement for practising Judo.

Your licence supplies vital insurance cover – see www.britishjudo.org.uk/my-judo/membership/insurance/

The BJA licence also enables members to access a range of benefits, such as discounted entry to attractions run by Merlin Entertainments – again, for more details see www.britishjudo.org.uk/my-judo/membership/benefits/

Licensed players also receive regular e-mail updates, two print and 4 electronic copies of the BJA magazine Matside.

License fees are used to subsidise BJA area and county competitions and events, keeping costs down.

Each licensed player also contributes 50p towards the cost of the Club’s own insurance.

Golden start to Club’s 25th year

Posted on January 25, 2018

Isla Savellis-Fry made a golden start to the Club’s 25th year with a gold medal at Sunday’s South Coast Split Grade Green Belt & Under competition.

Fighting in the Red & Yellow Belt section, Isla was in dominant form, winning all 4 of her fights with maximum ippon scores. Two of these contests were against players in a heavier weight category who had been combined with Isla’s group.

Isla joins a small group of female medallists from the Club – Kate Borland, Tiffany Caswell, Sophie Read, Sophie Dolman, Sarah Carr and Jess Oakden.

A fantastic start to the year, and a brilliant result for all Isla’s hard work and focus.

Isla wasn’t the only player in action. Jorge Nogueira and Dylan Butcher also contested the Red & Yellow Belt section. Dylan was the lightest player in his weight and had several good fights, although the essential win eluded him. Jorge’s first contest was a short affair, being thrown almost immediately with uchi mata, but in his second contest he held his own for most of the duration.

A good way to start the year!

Volunteer mat layers wanted!

Posted on July 2, 2017

Mat area

Assistance is required with laying mats during September, as Kev and Craig will be away.

If anyone can commit to being at the school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 1740 to help with laying mats, their assistance would be greatly appreciated. Due to Tony’s work location and travel times, you may be required to hold the key for the mat cupboard and start laying mats on your own.

If anyone can assist, please speak to Tony before classes break up.

Summer training programme

Posted on July 2, 2017

Judo training

The Club will be open on the following nights in July:

  • Tuesday 4 July
  • Thursday 6 July
  • Tuesday 11 July
  • Thursday 13 July – final Thursday session until September!
  • Tuesday 18 July
  • Thursday 20 July – NO JUDO due to school show
  • Tuesday 25 July

At present we are scheduled to close until September following the session on 25 July.

We are exploring with the school the possibility of continuing to run a Tuesday night session throughout the summer, as we used to do. (It is only availability of a school keyholder that stops us).

If we are unable to do this, we will run fitness session at Hilsea Creek as per the last three years.
