Congratulations to Jonathan who gained his Black belt last weekend!!!!!

The Friary Judo Club has had a great couple of months at top level competition. Firstly Matthew Harte, who is also the Club Coach, won a Bronze Medal at the British Masters Championship held in London. By winning a medal at this event this qualifies him onto the prestigious British Masters squad.

He has then followed that up by going better and winning all his fights at the Samurai Masters competition in Birmingham thus winning Gold at that event.

Mark Smith also competed at the Samurai high grades event and fought excellently to take a Bronze medal in the 1st Dan Black belt section, also earning him points towards his 2nd Dan.

Well done to everyone that graded in March and who progressed their grade.  The club had 18 members progress their grade and hope that this will spur them on to a higher level of Judo!
