BJC Junior National Judo Championships
Sunday 2nd May 2010
A team of twelve entered this event and after our success last year, our hopes were high. We enjoyed some great success's, a few near misses and a disappointing result as a consequence of a score recording error which unfortunately denied one of our team a medal. But these things happen (as David Sensei knows to his personal cost). The results are in the table below but our special congratulations go to Jessica and Allen who are both National Champions!

There were some excellent performances from other club members who unfortunately just missed out of the medal stakes. Jonah won four out of six contests and somehow didn't gain a medal whilst Noah won two out of three. Hannah won one of her contests where she was up against much older opponents.
A number of videos have been uploaded and can be viewed here

Team Challenge
This competition took place on Monday 7th December at the Harefield Judo Club. We entered in a team of 21 and enjoyed great success with our team gaining 63 points with the second closest club gaining 53. Once the points were averaged in order to establish the team winning the competition, we came first with an average score of 13 with the other clubs all scoring in the mid-12's. Well done to all of our Judoka's!
Shortly, there will be further pictures and videos uploaded of this event which was a friendly event that was both fun and at the same time, fiercely competitive. But for now, you can enjoy a couple of videos of Jonah, who somehow failed to book in at the right time and so ended up in the wrong pool as you can see from the size of his opponents. Nevertheless, he wasn't about to give up!
