World Sombo Trials

8 members of the Warriors Grappling Academy traveled to Bedford, for the British 
Sombo trials. Bradley Belsey, Casey Belsey,Ashley Costa and Jamie Marzetti all 
won their weight groups and are now part of the British Sombo team to compete in 
the World Championships in November.
Coach John Clarke said "It was a really hard competition, with many great fighters from 
all over England competing for their place in the British team. Out of the 8 
places up for grabs, 4 of them were taken from my club and that is amazing. I am so proud 
of all of the lads, they did them selves and the club proud. Well done.

"The star of the day had to be Jamie, who not only won 3 golds, but one of them was 
in the o82 open. Jamie himself only weighs 82kg and he fought 2 lads who were 
over 120kg, that takes some doing."

More on Kent Open

on another warm weekend at crystal palace sports centre 2 senior players and 1 junior competed in the Kent international judo tournament.this competition has set a real task for players to get to and its spread over 2 days with up to 1000 players taking part

Liam Jordan as the junior u30 kilo didn't place as didn't Ashley costa fighting in the u73 kilo senior category but seemed to be competing not only the other competitors, but referees as well and had possibly some harsh decisions' against him.

the other player who now trains at the club Casey belsey placed third in the u66 kilo category in this group were some real class players and although the numbers were low the quality was there. In his fight for the bronze medal Casey had the measure of his opponent within the first 30 seconds of the fight and totally dominated it,he went on to win by ippon.
