Judo.End of year Uni Judo championships and bbq party

Saturday saw a good turnout by three clubs Auckland uni, Big judo and Onehunga BBJ.
Using modified Kodokan rules no leg locks,wrist locks, direct leg pickups, constant grip breaking the standard was very high .
 Age brackets 30-39,40,49,50,59 and over 60 , only one entry Teams , by dantaisen , winner stays, 5 per team saw 4 teams compete was won by Uni A against Big judo going down the wire to the last man . Special thanks to Paul Woods who flew in from Wellington for sensei,s birthday and the shiai and then flew back late afternoon , thanks Paul !
 Members from Western and Judokai opted out in favour of the Alk training squad muttering that they had to train hard for the next international championship to get passed the 1st round .
Something which has eluded them to date . We always thought training more than 2/3 times per week was the way to go.
 The BBQ after was tasty with lots of sausages, chicken, and scotch fillet. This was washed down with 30l of Mc Louds IPA which almost never happened as we had trouble get the beer machine to work.
 From 10am on the same day Big judo ,Sandringham and Pukekohe and Epsom judo had a fun day  with about 40 kids followed by a big bbq at the back complete with many parents .
Thank you Capt Ben your army training came in handy.

And again thank you to our many sponsors
