Just Judo

Sixteen years ago, a tiny 5 year old walked into the judo club at Bonnyrigg Leisure Centre.

As soon as she was eligible she started competing, carried on training (lots of training!) and tackled the many challenges that sport, & growing up throws at us.

This week Sunny Doig was selected to represent Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Everyone at the club is buzzing at the selection and so excited for this next experience - for us all!

Congratulations Sunny, keep working hard out there in Japan, and remember: be 😉

More contests in the bank for Arran & Nathan today at the Clyde Grand Prix.
Great experience for Nathan, who has made improvements since his last Grand Prix outing and good to see Arran back at it again in his first competition since last year’s Scottish. 🥈🥉
Well done also to Martin, who was out in the middle again Refereeing!
Huge thanks to Clyde Judo Club who delivered a very well run event that kept the contests flowing throughout the day 🙏🏻

Wishing the best of days tomorrow to Arran, Murray & Nathan who are competing at The Clyde Grand Prix.
Your judo has been looking great in training, so take a well earned break from studying and go and have some fun!

Great to see Martin grasping the opportunity to Referee at an International event with Scottish colleagues, gaining amazing experience at the British Veterans Open at the University of East London.
Great work Martin, lots of graft going in to being 👇🏻

This weekend, Chris Lambert, Benedict MacLennan‑Patton and Martin Baillie represented Scottish referees at the London Veteran Open.

A fantastic weekend of valuable experience for the whole team, and a special shout‑out to Chris on his first outing as a National B referee!

“I need to get fitter”
No problem, don’t rush off after judo 😇. Let the games begin!

Lots of matches for Murray & Nathan yesterday at the Hibari Kan Grand Prix in Motherwell, so plenty to learn from and unpick over the coming weeks.

Both left everything out there today, which is all that can be expected, and both will wake up this morning 😉

Ending up on the podium was a bonus, & the lessons learned on the way will prove invaluable - well done both 🙌🏻 🥈🥉

A huge thank you to the squad of volunteers from Hibari Kan Judo Club who kept everything moving throughout a long and busy day - great effort 🙏🏻
