We can’t express fully to you all, how proud we are of our students!! We have to explain that our Judoka’s (Players) practise at this moment in time between 30 and 45 minutes per week on a Thursday morning and achieved the results above…
Every other player at the Championships practise a minimum of 1 hour a week and one Team manager explained that his children train 5 hours per week!
Maxi is National Champion after beating a Yellow Belt with 3 Tabs and an Orange Belt in his weight category… Nothing short of amazing!
