BJC Cromer Course

BJC Cromer Course

The BJC Cromer course kicked off on Sunday 26^th May with Ricky Cleevely 5^th Dan as guest coach for the first two days.

Ricky is well known for his part in International Kata, representing GB. But he also runs a judo club ‘Shizentai’ along with his wife Lisa who assisted him with the coaching.

 

The rest of the weeks coaching was covered by Mark Avison, Debbie Small, Gareth Merredew, Matt Lish, Roger Harris, Laurie Craig, Riki Urquhart and Charlotte Haines.( Sorry if I’ve missed anyone).

 Thank you to all the coaches for their sessions which were all well attended and greatly received.

Kata was covered by Bob Cleevely and Karl Barker during the week with assistance from Ricky , Lisa and Tori Cleevely, Yvette Fox & Len Witts. Each day tuition for a specialist kata was also provided.

With the inclusion of the table officials course level 1& 2 on Wednesday run by Ian Vale and Jonathan F itches and a lifesaving course held by Mitch Haines the week was packed with things to do for Judoka and non-judoka.

All was overseen by Alan Carlisle 6^th Dan and the Presidents Technical representative on this course.

Unfortunately the weather was awful so all afternoon activities where held at the Judo venue rather than the usual venue, these included Rounders ( Sunday ), Football( Monday), Cricket ( Wednesday). The rain clouds held off for the weekly buffet and Quiz which was won by Leni’s lions.

All accumulated with a grading on Friday 31^st May 2024.

Which saw Brenden Hill awarded his 1^st Dan and Charlotte Haines recommended for her 1st  Dan.

Put the dates in your diary for next year 25^th- 30^th May as it plans to be yet another great course .
