On Saturday 10th March 2018 two of our primiries, Henry and Rex attended the Chalfont Judo championship, with Henry getting Silver in his weight category and Rex getting Bronze. Well done to them both.
The last judo classes of 2017 will be on Friday 15th December, but we will be back on the mat again on Friday 5th January 2018.
This year has seen the club grow, which has meant that even though our hall hire costs went up by 44% at the beginning of May we have easily been able to soak up the extra cost with all the new members we have coming to the club, which is why we have been able to keep our mat fees at £3 per session. We are hoping that the club will grow further in 2018 and we will achieve further competition success. From all the coaches at Kyu Kitso Judo club, we would like to thank everyone who has supported the club from the parents to the students. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!! Every year Kyu Kitso Judo Club hosts a club friendly competition with Hecra Judo Club.
This year the competition was bigger than ever with 52 competitors, 11 from Hecra Judo Club and 41 from Kyu Kitso. There was a great show of Judo and all the competitors fought with great determination and skill. Thanks again to Danny McIntosh for bringing his club along and also for refereeing on one of the mats. Kyu Kitso medal tally for the evening was: 11 Golds, 12 Silvers and 18 Bronzes. Primaries and juniors final judo classes be on Friday 28th July and will start back again on 8th September.
Senior classes will be running as normal on Friday from 8:30pm to 10pm through the summer holiday. Happy Easter from all the coaches at Kyu Kitso Judo Club!
The final Judo session before Easter will be on Friday 7th April. Judo will then resume again on Friday 28th April. Team Kyu Kitso once again performed really well. The competition was difficult but all the team members put their heads down and fought their hardest and this paid off in the results. Some of the team were lucky enough to have their medals presented to them by Denise Lewis OBE, who is a British Olympic gold medalist heptathlete. Team results are: Gold

The competition will be held on Sunday 30th April 2017 at Kettering Arena Sports, Thurston Drive, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN15 6PB. Competitors must be at least 8 years old and seniors must be a minimum grade of 4th Kyu (Orange belt). Entry fee is £22 per person and spectators are £3 per person.
