The coaching team and members of Shinken Shobu Ryu Judo club Warrenpoint are making final preparations with long time club Member Dawid Jurkiewicz. Dawid will be making his way to the Veterans World championships in Kraków Poland from 8 to 11 September.
This is another day in the office for Dawid, who is an accomplished competitor on the world stage. Dawid is a leading light within the clubs competition team.
A few of Dawid's previous records include: Veterans European Championships Glasgow 2018 - placed 7th in -90kg; Veterans European Championships Marrakech 2019; Third International tournament of Olympic champion Pawel Nastula Poland 2019- Gold -81kg; International Polish Masters 2019 Silver -81kg; 52nd North West Open International Gold Veterans, Silver Seniors; Northern Ireland open International Gold; Irish International; Silver Masters.
As a Judo club Shinken Shobu Ryu Judo club have been embedded in the Warrenpoint and Burren area for over 50 years. They have had many of the local youth of each generation pass through the doors and have always been proud of their ability to support members.
However in todays turbulent times when the bills rise and travelling to and from competitions and the additional training is much more expensive it makes things more difficult. The Club are pleased to advise that Warrenpoint Credit Union have offered sponsorship to the value of £250 to help Dawid to the world championships.
Dawid will be using these much needed funds towards his training, travelling and competition entry costs.
If you would like to come onboard as a sponsor for Dawid or for the club please feel free to reach out.
If you or your child would like to join the club they currently have spaces open in both kids and adult classes.
