Summer 2010 training camp

January 25, 2010 on 2:48 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

HI_AWARDS_CMYKSummer 2009 proved a great time with the younger kids enjoying a totally free 4 week summer camp. Our coaches put on some great entertainment and judo practice for our members to enjoy during the summer break. This was possible due to generosity of to parties, Clydebank College for providing the venue and funding and also “Awards for All” for providing the club with a grant to purchase great quality GEEMAT from Fighting Films.

With this year in mind Paul had said “I’m trying to sort the kids programme but at this point due to the current financial climate we are unsure if the college would be able to support the summer camp, worse case is we can put on a watered down version for the kids”. Paul added ” Regarding the training camp, I’m trying to obtain the services of the countries top competitor at the moment to provide our big name for the summer, following last years big guns Graeme Randall, National Coach and Former World Champion and John Buchanan, National Talent Development Coach and World Bronze medallist”.

The club would again like to thank the afore mentioned parties in their valuable contribution to services we provide.IMG_0066

More success for Titans

December 13, 2008 on 10:34 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

Last weekend Stuart Kennedy competed in the -90Kg category at the Granite City Championships. Stuart won his fights convincingly and even put an opponent down in under 10 seconds. With this kind of form Stuart collected a bronze medal for his troubles and kept the Titan name up there at the top.

Some newer seniors coming through are Malky and Craig, they both competed in the national grading at Ratho. Both had a fantastic start and both threw for ippon to cement their first 10 points. A shaky second fight for both but they both soldiered through and battled to win the next contests to get the points they needed to be promoted green belt.

Another more familiar face was at the grading, John Lipsett completed a big chunk of whats required to collect his second Dan. John has worked hard over the last few years and is well on his way to collecting the well earned accolade of 2nd Dan.

Well done to all the guys doing the business for the club.

This Saturday saw another great night with the Mick Tausney band at the annual Halloween dance. There were lots of fancy dress costumes on show and a great turn out from Saddam Hussein, Darth Maul, Spiderman, Dr Kenny Lingus, Mr Incredible, Amy Winehouse, Daddy Cool, Count Dracula to name a few!!!

Even with the torrential rain and howling wind there was still a great turn out to make the night fantastic and also show support for the club by taking part in the usual coin toss for the bottles.

During the day we held the kids party, wow!! there was all sorts turning up here, from Ben 10 to the Wolf Man, Darth Maul to Indiana Jones. Some fantastic costumes on show and hopefully a fun time had by all.

All the kids put a lot of effort into the costumes, so thank you and keep up the good work.

Hopefully more pics to follow on the flicker button on the right.

Anyone who took some pics please send the good ones to paul@titanjudo.com

More medals from the Titan Terrors

October 22, 2008 on 10:48 am | In Uncategorized | No Comments

We had two more juniors fighting recently at the Grangemouth Open Championships. Every year there is a massive entry and 2008 was no different.

Darren Kennedy and Lewis Greig both represented the club in seperate weight categories.

Darren won the bronze medal in his category and was unlucky not to pick up the silver with some questionable refereeing. Darren fought extremely well and gained more experience fighting in this difficult tournament.

Lewis fought extremely well on the day and won all his fights on his way to collecting the gold medal. He won his fights with several different techniques and showed his class with a few ippons.

The boys fought really well and to come away with two medals out of two is an excellent result.

Doogan does it

If at first you don’t succeed, don’t come back. This is the advice the coach gave Peter, but as usual he never listened. Just as well, Peter and Stuart completed their Dan grade theory on wednesday night making Peter the clubs 11th Black belt. Both of them worked hard on their theory which was evident with Peter scoring 206 out of a possible 210. Well done again guys.
