Senior visit to Brighton Judo Club
An instructive session led by the legendary Steve Shuka, with some great techniques taught, learned and put into practice. A high standard of Judo and a delightful group of players makes Brighton well worth a visit.

Senior visit to Hollington Judo Club
A light session led by Neil Chalcraft and Sean Martin, featuring some fine Judo principles put into practice. Work on setting up throwing positions was followed by transition into newaza with a couple of older techniques revised. An enjoyable experience.

Senior visit to Kin Ryu Judo Club
A well-structured class led by Richard Williams, with a focus on two forms of yoko tomoe nage with transition into newaza. The instructions were clear and precise and a high level of execution was implicit throughout the session. A batch of highly-skilled judoka ensured that the randori was both educational and rewarding. The preceding Advanced Junior session, led by Lisa Rivers focussed on ni dan ko soto gari, which then linked to sode guruma jime. This was an exemplar lesson in how to get the very best from your students. All in all, this was a delightful evening.

Senior visit to Chichester Ronin Judo Club
A very quiet evening (due to it being Half Term) led by John Rowland. This was a well-structured session, introducing some key points to improve tachiwaza skills and several ideas to work on in newaza. A good judo experience in a delightful dojo.

Senior visit to Worthing Judo Club
A very busy session with lots of activities, ran by the ever-enthusiastic Chris Cooper. Just like the preceding junior session there could not have been more packed into a one hour session. A great workout.

Senior visit to MSK-Checkmat
A step outside of the Judo world for a taste of Brazilian Ju Jitsu (quite a lot of Judo, actually). Some skilful newaze clearly demonstrated by head coach Tony Ferreira, preceded by throwing opponents with stiff-arm defences taught by our Judo colleague, Jonathan Hodge. Definitely a great evening.

Senior/Junior visit to Keisen Judo Club
A focussed session from Sussex County Coach James Draper. Good warm ups and a competitive finish, with some great techniques taught and practised with partners and in randori. All in all splendid session that everyone seemed to enjoy.
