Congratulations to Lana, who is the Judoka of the Month from our Bear Judo class (8-12years old) 🥳
Lana has been training with an increased level of focus and intensity recently, attending more classes and doing extra training. Lana competed in her first competition recently and when there were no players in her age group, she agreed to move up to the next age range to join a mixed group, fighting three boys and another girl. Lana fought with some real fighting spirit, never giving up even when going a score down and pushing each fight to the full time, winning one with some lovely ne waza.
When I asked Lana why she likes learning Judo, she said “I like Judo because I know that it is good for you and you learn things like how to throw, break-fall and how to use your brain to outsmart your opponent. It teaches me self-defence and how to stay safe.”!
Keep up the great work Lana🥋💪
