Training News



Great to see so many new faces on the mat in the past few weeks.  Thanks to all the senior grades for helping out at training and thanks to the parents and helpers who have given their time to organise and run our past few Univeristy Expo days.

For the newbies, I have a challenge for you. Consider the following statistic: “5 out of 10 who join a judo club will drop out within the first 6 months."

My challenge to you is to break these statistics! Judo is a challenging sport. You are succeeding by simply turning up to training. The rest will come with time.

See you soon
