Faversham Open Judo

FAVERSHAM OPEN JUDO COMPETITION
On Sunday April  26th 2015 Faversham Judo Club held its Annual Open Judo Club at Abbey Sports Hall, Abbey School. The sports hall is an ideal Venue for a tournament like this, it is big enough to have two Judo size mat areas with plenty of spectator space in fact at a push 3 mats could be used. It has been suggested that the IBF Multi Nation Judo Championships maybe staged at the School in 2016/17, this would a great coup for the Faversham Club who ran an exceptional competition and I am sure they would be a great host for the International Tournament.
Young Ladies Action

The Faversham club is well over 40 years old and has recently seen a revival of Judo in fact all IBF Clubs have seen increase in Judo membership which is great for the sport

Faversham Coaches Sue Tanner-George Holbrook-Trevor Davies

The main organisers for this event were Trevor Davies, George Holbrook and Miles Brown and I know they would want to thank all the helpers. With over 200 people present it had to be run just right and it was. The event started at (.30am with a demonstration of Kime No Kata by Greg Garside 4th Dan and Tim Thomas 3rd Dan and the whole event finished at 2.30pm.

A happy Winner

There was many good fights during the Day and it was good to see more Judoka acting as referees but I would like to see the return of a referee and 2 judges rather then 1 referee, Miles tells me he will be running a Referees course in the near future so hopefully this will change. Another pleasing thing was that they used Old Judo rules i.e. rules that were used before the recent International rules were imposed by the IJF. These rules have been very controversial and many believe they have been to the detriment to Judo as a whole

The next Competiotion at Faversham will be in October and I expect it will be bigger and better
