And that's a wrap on the Cromer Course for our NNJC members.

We hope everyone had a great week.

Much kata has been signed off, lots of personal learning and achievements chalked up.

We almost won the quiz (we were robbed but this is judo and the refs decision is final)... don't get Sensei Paddy started on Dr Who regeneration.... the argument will run a long time... also... obviously we should calculate miles as the crow flies for john o groats to lands end..... heads held high.... maybe next year we will rightfully triumph 🤣

Most of all though, we spent time with our wonderful judo family of friends, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed to bringing a week of judo to our little corner of blighty!

Well done everyone!

What a moment for the club this week!

Mila is not just a founder member of North Norfolk Judo , she was actually there when we had our first launch event at Festival of Sport before we had even opened the club!

A natural sportswoman and a role model to all our members Mila has made incredible progress since joining. Fresh back from winning Junior Squad Member of the Year at the British Judo Council Awards a few weeks ago, and now Sensei Matt has had the immense pleasure of awarding her Brown belt. So well deserved!

Sensei Matt has just two weeks to go until he takes part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon in aid of Arthritis UK!

It is not too late to sponsor. Even 50p makes a difference to this great cause.

Massive congratulations for Luke who was a finalist at the British Judo Council Awards at the weekend.

Luke has made such amazing progress since he started judo, building up resilience and confidence every week with focused determination - the true spirit of a judoka! We are so lucky to have him at North Norfolk Judo.

Well done Luke!

Woot!

As many of you know a few of us were lucky enough to attend the British Judo Council Annual Awards on Saturday after receiving several nominations and shortlists for our club members (see previous post),

Well, not only did we clean up on the raffle 🤣.. we are also delighted to announce we have two winners at North Norfolk Judo Club:

Mila - Senior Squad Member of the Year
Paddy - Coach of the Year Junior

We are so proud of all of our members training every week, of those took the time to make nominations and those who were shortlisted - you are all awesome.

For Mila and Paddy, a thoroughly well deserved recognition of tireless hard work from both of them!
