Looking at us from the outside you would be forgiven to think that we only have international opportunities at the top level. Our Juniors and Seniors regularly compete on the World stage and are a true inspiration for our younger judoka.
On Friday 23rd February a team from our younger squad (youngest 9 years old) headed to the Samobor Open 2024 in Croatia led by coach Sam Atkinson.
After some fierce battles and a number of the judokas competing in higher age group these were the results:
Final Results for Zegrab 2024:
U12s
Tal - Bronze
Hannah - Silver
U16s / U18s
James - Gold
Gvozden - Silver
Berkeley - 5th
Blake - 5th
Idan - Unplaced.
BSJC had a blast. For the small team who came - we punched well above our weight - some taking medals and others learning for the experience of Balkan strong arm Judo. Well done everyone, you all did the Club proud. - Sam Atkinson
