Today saw the first competition on the AJA calendar for 2011!

What would Meiji School of Excellnece do after ending 2010 with such success? Well, the only thing that they knew how, of course!

The Meiji Judokwai’s went out and proved that they still had what it takes to be successful. Every competitor that entered this competition left with a medal, and achieved some stunning throws and groundwork.

Below is a table of results:

Meiji School of Excellence have done the unthinkable and won all three TEAM EVENTS during 2010.

The Meiji Judokai now hold the following titles:

Cobra Team Championship (July 2010)
Bushi Team Championship (September 2010)
Midland Area Team Championship (November 2010)

No other club has ever won all three team event titles.

With the outstanding success of the club this year, where can the Meiji School of Excellence go next? Of course all of this has been made possible by the dedication of the Judokai and their Sensei - Stewart Hogg 3rd Dan Black belt. Thank you!
