Titan Judo

New Titan Library

Check out the new Library with all of the masterclass books and some others to add. Hopefully starting with around 20 books. The more people borrow the books the bigger the library can be.

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

Another Great Halloween Bash

some crazy people

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

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.

Scottish Age Bands video

Paul put together this video of the boys fights from the recent competition.
It did originally have music in it, but Youtube said we were in breach of copyright because of it, so, no music now. Sorry.

Anyway, enjoy. There’s some nice Judo here.

Titan Judo - Scottish Age Bands 2008

Scottish Age bands 2008

Well done to Darren, Stefan & Nathan who all fought extremely well at the Scottish Age Band Championships. They competed in the -42kg, -55kg & -38kg categories. Against some tough opposition the boys performed well by attacking and fighting like champions. The star of the day was Nathan, winning all of his contests by ippon in record time. He eventually lost to get a place in the final by a more experienced player from Aberdeen but shook off the defeat to go on and win his Bronze medal fight in all of 5 seconds.

Well done to all and congratulations to Nathan on the Scottish Bronze medal.

New schedule

Now that Summer (what Summer?) is nearly over, we’ve changed our timetable of classes back to something like normal.

Make sure to have a look so you know when we’re on.

August Timetable

A little late, seeing as how August is nearly over, but, better late than never.

We are running a slightly different timetable until the end of August. Make sure to have a look at our timetable so you know when we are on.

June 2008 Grading

Well done to everyone who sat their grading last week. Everyone’s promotion was well deserved.

Gary Clarkson took quite a few photos of the grading contests, which I’ve uploaded to our Flickr gallery, but heres a few of them.

More competition success

Good news from the Grangemouth open - Marc Boyd, in his first ever competition, fought in the under 16, under 60kg category and managed to bring home a third place.

Not bad going for the youngest (13) and smallest competitor in the category.

Well done!
