Azhar claims bronze medal at 2015 Hampshire Closed

Posted on March 1, 2015

Azhar Baree continued to stake his claim as one of the best young judo players in Hampshire with a bronze medal at -42kgs in today’s Hampshire Closed.

Apart from one defeat, in the second round to the eventual gold medallist, Azhar won all his fights with resounding ippon scores, including a nine second victory in his bronze medal contest.

Elsewhere, Mieszko Polak and Jack Rogerson performed well in the -34kg category. Both players found themselves in the repechage after defeats in the early stages. Digging in deep, they fought their way through to the repechage final, where in a see-saw contest Jack  beat Mieszko to progress to the bronze medal contest against the losing semi-finalist.

In a battle of attrition, the medal hung in the balance, before Jack was held for ippon.

Final results:

Azhar Baree, bronze -42kg

Jack Rogerson, 5th place -34kg

Mieszko Polak 7th place -34kg

Posted on December 29, 2014

medals
Azhar Baree, Jack Marshall and Mos Hannan all competed in the over-12 section of the final High Wycombe Mini Mons on Saturday 20 December.

Azhar missed out on a gold medal by the narrowest of margins, whilst Jack and Mos returned with bronze.

It was a well attended competition, with a good standard of judo on display from all the players, and our players acquitted themselves well.

Another great week of grading success for our players!

Latest promotions are:

Jacob Boichot 1 mon
Alexander Lane 1 mon
Oliver Jones 1 mon
Maya Polak 3 mon
Samuel Boichot 4 mon
Mieszko Polak 5 mon
Marcus Tree 5 mon
Azhar Baree 6 mon
Jack Marshall 6 mon
Maddison Cox 6 mon
Conor Isherwood-Lee 7 mon

As with last week, that brings us some new belts – yellow and orange – and is a testament to how hard the players have worked and prepared for the grading. Very well done everyone.

We have one or two more players to assess, and wish them good luck next week.

During the grading process, we have identified one or two players who are under graded, due to having missed grading opportunities in the past. These players may be given the opportunity to grade again prior to the main Club grading, in order that their grades more accurately reflect their ability and attainment.

Adventures in France

Posted on June 4, 2014
Court Lane players in Royan

Court Lane players in Royan

Tony, Andy, Simon, Jonty and Azhar have just returned from a trip to Royan, France, where they trained with the local judo club.

The visit was undertaken with Holbrook Judo Club, as part of the official twinning events between Gosport and Royan.

Whilst there, players trained with their French counterparts on the Friday evening and Sunday morning, before taking part in a “friendly” competition, where Andy, Jonty and Azhar all took on players considerably bigger than themselves and higher graded. All three performed with distinction, Jonty and Azhar scoring some good wins.

Andy also took part in the Monday evening fitness and newaza session, so look out for some new exercises and more variations on sangaku and juji gatame!

It wasn’t all Judo however, with trips to Blaye and La Rochelle forming part of the itinerary , we also took advantage of an opportunity to go sailing.

Royan will be visiting Gosport in 2015, with Holbrook hosting Judo activities.

Court Lane preparing for international adventures

Posted on April 26, 2014

Court Lane Judo Club is preparing for two forays into the international judo scene.

Tony Brown and Andy Read will accompany Jonty Bassil, Azhar Baree and Simon Bassil on a trip to Royan, France at the end of May to train with the ROC Judo Club.

This trip is being organised by Holbrook Judo Club, in Gosport, as part of the twinning arrangement between Gosport and Holbrook.

Tony took part in this exchange visit two years ago, with Brett Caswell and Greg Anderson. Brett also travelled to France with Holbrook in 2010. Court Lane players have taken part in activities organised by Holbrook when French players have visited the UK.

Players are also focussing on the Kent International, held at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, at the end of June. We have decided to add this competition to our schedule this year following the strong performances of our players at the recent Hampshire Closed. All the players who competed with such distinction are encouraged to consider entering the Kent International as a development opportunity.

Bronze medal and a 5th place at Hampshire Closed

Posted on April 6, 2014

Azhar on medal podium

Azhar on medal podium


Azhar Baree scooped bronze fighting at -38kg at today’s Hampshire Closed, his only losses being to the eventual gold and silver medallists. Along the way, Azhar delivered a powerful ippon seoinage to ko uchi combination to secure his exit from the pool stage to the knockout.

A determined performance from Jack Rogerson saw him fight through to a bronze medal contest in a large -30kg category. Jack was unable to overcome his final opponent, being thrown for ippon.

Fighting alongside Jack were Mieszko Polak and Marcus Tree, who both delivered excellent performances.

Joel Bassil was on excellent form in the lightest -27kg category, winning his first fight by yuko before scoring ippon with o soto guruma in his second contest. His third fight was hotly contested, Joel just being edged out, before he scored a huge ippon in his fourth. Frustratingly, his efforts were to no avail, as a combined score of 25 points was not enough to lift him from his pool into the knockout, other players with the same winning ration having scored 30 and 27 points.

Jonty Bassil was our final competitor, at -50kg. Despite giving away several inches, Jonty started strongly, and took the fight to his opponent before being held for ippon. Unfortunately Jonty was thrown and injured in his second fight. We wish him a speedy recovery.

Today’s results marked a massive improvement from the same tournament last year, with all players making serious challenges and showing how hard work and self belief pays off.
