WARRIORS AND
YJC NEWS LETTER
March 2014
Welcome
everyone to our third newsletter of the year. I hope last month letter was very
informative and you marked down all the dates for diary.
It is very
important that we support all the competition that clubs are running within the
IBF as there is a lot of hard work and hours that go into running a competition
and of course these competition cost money. Not only is it natural progression
for your child to fight in as many competition as possible, but it will also
help in their quest for higher grades within Judo.
Attendance for the month: over all lesson.
Junior Judo.
Weekly trophy winners were: Bradley,
harry Higgins,jayden scales,Kieran webb,lousie henry,
The trophies
are handed out each week to a student who has either worked really hard or done
a technique really well or has impressed the instructor with their attitude
towards others and the class. Well done you and your parents should be very
proud!
Competition results: Still awaiting from
Mr Costa the full report from the competition last month, this will follow in a
separate email.
Grading results: No grading in January. Next Grading Saturday March 29th
Senior Judo.
Well done to
Richard Seaman for winning gold in the Sittingbourne open Blake Southfield and
Keith Brown for getting a Bronze medal. I was very impressed with all of you
and how much your technique have improved well done.
Sombo
This year
George Loscombe started up a Sombo/Combat sombo class for kids, this is the
first time anyone has tried this but going by the numbers attending his class
it seems to be very successful. Sombo is a completely different sport from Judo
with less restrictions and uncomplicated rules, it is much easier sport to
follow, however it is not for the fainthearted. George also does a weekly
Trophy winner and these winners are: erin duggan, Olivia crosswell, milly
loscombe.
MMA
Warriors
grappling academy MMA is a mixture of Judo, Sombo, Combat Sombo, Kick Boxing and
boxing all rolled into one. This is also a sport not for the fainthearted. The
class consists of throwing with no jacket submissions, punching and kicking as
well as hard core fitness. The club is going from strength to strength. This is
an adult class only (14 and over).
