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
