Cobra Judo gave us a great event.. there was action from start to finish. Our thanks go to Darren Treen, Cobra and his team.
The day was a scorcher, the temperatures were in the 30’s, even though it started quite cool in the hall everyone was calling for air-con by the middle of the day…
The photos from the event are in the gallery, I took quite a few this time, some great shots though - the sun through the skylights seemed to add a nice effect..

There is also quite a bit of video so check back here Thursday and it will be online, you will need broadband to view it.

Chloe Wins The Purple Belt This Friday
14th July 2006 saw Chloe Hoskins win the Purple belt. Well done Chloe Sensei is really happy with the effort you are putting in and the noticeable change in your performance. I wonder what Sensei will write about you.
This Friday was a warm summers evening and there were plenty of judo players preparing for Sundays competition, very hot and sweaty in the dojo… Good luck to those who are fighting for the Meiji.org.uk Judokwai club at Castle Vale Leisure Centre. We will post the results, video and pictures here.
Purple Belt Winners Friday 7th July 2006
Congratulations to the three purple belt winners this Friday evening. Katherine Hogg chose two of them and Sensei one. Katherine’s choice was the two relatively newcomers, Joseph Balderstone and Alex Hunter, their understanding of the Japanese to English translation of the syllabus phrases was excellent, well done guys!
Sensei’s choice was Cam Hoskins. Sensei was pleased with the way that Cam’s Judo has suddenly improved he seems to be more committed now that he is well after his recent swollen lip incident. Well done Cam!
Well done to everyone else, a good turnout this Friday!
