Garden of England Open Judo Championships Swallows Leisure Centre Sittingbourne Kent
April 16th 2004
This very successful Annual Championships is organised by Sittingbourne Judo Instructor Keith Costa and the Young Judo Club. The event is open to all Judoka and always attracts players from all over the southeast as well as players from the Midlands, North and Scotland in past years it has also attracted players from Belgium, France, Germany and Spain.
The reason for its success is that there are so many weight and age categories, this goes down very well with the parents who like the idea of children competing in there weights and age group. Keith runs two Judo tournaments at the Swallows every year, the Garden of England, which is held in April, and the YJC Open Junior, which is in November. 2005 Keith has decided to make some changes, the Garden of England will move to November and the YJC Junior Open will be called the St Georges Judo Open and will be held as near to St Georges Day as possible. The St Georges event will have all the various junior events, also include will be a veteran event with the following categories 35 to 39, 40 to 44, 50 to 54, 55 to 59 and 60 plus. The YJC has been a staunch and patriotic club with it showing great pride in being English so the St Georges Championship will be a fitting event to celebrate the English people. The Young Judo Club has three sections in the Swale area YJC Sittingbourne based at the East Street Sports Centre and coached by Keith Costa 3rd Dan, YJC Milton Regis based at Academy Sport & Movement coached by Dave Boulding 6th Dan, YJC Bredgar based at Bredgar Village Hall coached by Drew Cullen. YJC Bredgar has not been established for a year yet and is already having fantastic results, well done Drew and his sister Marcella.
Bruce Fisher who recently passed his brown belt and IBF Judo instructor award has started a Senior session on a Saturday morning at the Academy of Sport & Movement at Milton Regis every one is welcome.
Sombo Wrestling National Coach Tim Thomas has moved into the area and is already helping out at the Young Judo Club. He runs individual classes during the day, which prove very popular with people who do shift work like police officers; also some businessmen find it quite convenient as well. Tim would like to open a Free Style and Submission Wrestling club on a Wednesday night at the East Street Sports Centre if he gets sufficient interest. Tim can be contacted on 07760215721.
