“HEAR YE! HEAR YE!”
Court Lane junior players are invited to take part in a randori session at Holbrook Judo Club on 4th March.
As usual, the session will run from 10-12 noon at Holbrook Judo Club, Brune Park School, Military Road, Gosport.
A mat fee will apply.
Remember, the grading syllabus expects that you are engaging in randori suitable to your grade, whether that be in your club, inter-club, county, area etc.
As promised last week, our second session tomorrow (16 February) will focus on weapons – both their use and defense techniques.
We will draw on techniques from both goshin justsu no kata (forms of self defence) and kime no kata (forms of decision).
As mentioned on Tuesday, Court Lane players are welcome to attend a training session this Saturday (18 February)with multiple European and World masters medallists Derek and Sarah Hopkins, at Holbrook Judo Club.
These are always popular, well attended sessions at which you will learn a lot.
The session runs from 10-12 noon at Holbrook Judo Club, Brune Park Community School, Military Road, Gosport.
Please note that as the school site manager will not be working in the evenings during the February halfterm, we are unable to run classes.
This means there will be no judo on the following dates:
Sessions will recommence as normal from Tuesday 28 February.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Club supporters scored their 3rd and 4th wins on the Portsmouth Lottery at the weekend.
The elusive top prize of over £20,000 has still to be won, but every ticket purchased benefits local community groups – and you can nominate us to receive 50% of the ticket price: that’s 50p from every £1 weekly ticket comes directly to the club.
For full details of how to support us via the Portsmouth Lottery and Easyfundraising, see our fundraising page.
Dates have been announced for next Hampshire squad sessions.
In line with the policy of rotating sessions around the County to build interest and encourage participation, these sessions will be held in the north of the county (previous sessions have been in the south (Gosport) and central/west (Eastleigh)).
Sessions will be hosted by Osaka Judo Club, at their dojo in Aldershot:
Maida Gym,
Queens Avenue,
Aldershot,
Hampshire,
GU11 2BT
Session will run from 10-12, with a £5.00 mat fee
All competitive juniors aged 8+ are welcome to attend. These events will be used to select team to represent Hampshire in the annual Southern Area Intercounties event.
Dates are :
Snow is forecast on Thursday.
If you are like me, you are probably excited by this, although it probably is going to be too wet for it to settle.
It may possible cause some disruption however, especially as it appears likely to hit Portsmouth during the evening rush hour.
At present, we are planning on the Club being open as usual. If anything should change, we will endeavour to let people know via the Club website, Twitter and Facebook.
The Club has received it’s first donation from the Portsmouth Lottery.
We receive 50p from every ticket sold from our page. You don’t need to live in Portsmouth to play the Lottery or be a member of the Club, so friends and family around the country can join in and help support the Club.
With prize funds of up to £25,000 to be won, it is a great way to support the Club.
Online shopping has delivered a welcome boost to Club funds, via the Easyfundraising scheme.
There is still time to register and raise funds for free – simply visit our page and follow the instructions to register, then access your favourite online shops via the Easyfundraising page.
The dates have been confirmed for the visit of our friends from Royan, France in 2017.
The judo club will be visiting over the weekend of 19 – 22 May. As well as the judo club, there may be a paddle boarding club over the weekend.
This is a great chance to renew friendships made over the last few years, and take part in some great judo.
Host families are needed for the weekend, if anyone can host please let Tony or Kev know so that we can arrange with Paul at Holbrook Judo Club.
