A thoroughly enjoyable and fruitful weekend course was held at our Broughty Ferry dojo on Nov 26/27 2011 with a number of promotions gained in the lower kyu grade area. the kids did particularly well, training for the weekend alongside the adults, with a number of them gaining double promotions. Well done to all. Also well done to the new seniors, all of whom gained their first grades.
The senior also got something out of the event, with the Sunday being dedicated to training at sutemi-waza techniques, a first look at some advanced judo for some of our members. Well done all.

Summer School Report

Mike McQuaid — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:30:20 +0000

The club scaled new heights at the 2011 Borders Judo Camp with a number of significant promotions and awards being handed out to our members by BJC President Robin Otani who was attending the course for the first time.

A big congratulations to Kamal for becoming the club’s first home grown shodan. Kamal showed a complete mastery of every opponent to win five fights with ippon. Mention must also be made of Frank Arnot, who badgered into taking his grading exams found himself with enough points to be double-promoted, finding himself now as the senior kyu grade at Dundee.

Tracey Baldwin also had a very productive week at the course, not only passing her 2nd kyu exams, but also gaining the club leader award, a first step to being able to run training sessions herself. Congrats also to Trevor Jones and Mike McQuaid for there promotions to 3rd kyu and 5th kyu respectively.

The juniors of the club all acquitted themselves very well too. Enjoying the top quality coaching, with promotions being gained by all, some acheiving a double grade. A big well done to all of those who attending.
