A great performance from Roland in the -34kg, some great fighting and collected his first win in style.

Gavin excelled in his first -38kg and came away with the silver medal. Some great fights with some awesome seoinage throws.

Next up was Summer, she came up against some good competition, there were laughs there were tears and that happened when she won and lost. Some superb fighting to earn herself a bronze.

Luke was next, in a baptism of fire into the world of strangles. Didn’t take him long winning some great matches with a really positive attitude and judo to match. Another bronze for Titan.

Emily was in the -57 and this was a tough category with some experienced competitors. Only losing once to Scotland’s no1 and a fantastic ippon score to clinch the silver for Titan & Genki judo club

Last up was Stefan, topping the grand Prix table for the year. Stefan kept his winning ways going and walked away with the bronze.

Thanks to all the parents and their kids for coming along to support the players and thank you to the other coaches who gave up their own time to look after ALL the players.

GO TITAN

All times and classes remain the same, so just head up to the Antonine at the normal time.

If you’ve never been, you’ll find a link to a map and the address below.
The Antonine, Duntocher.

All Titan members are more than welcome to come along and join in these new beginners classes and they are open to any new members interested in joining.

Times are 5-5:45pm for 4 to 7 year olds and 6-7pm for 8-12 year olds.

This means that all of the Saturday classes will be held up at the Antonine.
Times are:

10 to 11 – 4 to 8
11 to 12 – 8 to 14
12 to 1 – 14 and Seniors

We will have a stall at the Sports Show, and will be doing a Judo demonstration at some point during the day. Volunteers to help out during the course of the day would be greatly appreciated, so if anyone wants to get involved, speak to Paul.

It was great to see everyone showing how well they’ve done, and those new belts are well deserved!

First classes back are on the 6th.

See you on Wednesday!

In keeping with my habit of adopting these things about 12 months after everyone else, I’ve decided to go ahead and create a Titan Judo account on Twitter – here

Ok, I’ll freely admit to being not entirely sure what to do with it, but it might be fun. It’s free anyway.

So, if you are right up to date with your internet trends and already use Twitter, start following titanjudo and we’ll see what we can do with it.

The camp is priced at only £25 which is snip when you look at who you are getting, so please try and get the first Titan Camp off to a flyer and support it. It is situated nicely a few weeks before some big tournaments so if we get the numbers then it will be great training for all who attend. Remember we’re all trying to encourage more club players to get involved so please encourage them to book as well as any performance players who may be interested.

If you need more info please don’t hesitate to get back in touch, contact details are on the registration form.

There were some great performances and those new belts were well earned.

Gary Clarkson has sent me copies of the 2 group photos he took of the class. He has high resolution copies of these, if anyone wants one.

The books should help your judo knowledge grow just as long as you turn up to class to try your new moves out
