In October Shinken Shobu Ryu Judo club will be taking their Jr members to the Shinsei Mon and Kyu grade event at Craigavon. For many of the kids this will be their first competition with competitors from as young as 8 years old flocking to South Lake Leisure Centre on 20 October to show their skills.
The Club have been delighted to have received a cheque from WBR Credit Union to help support them in their endeavours. The club is busy preparing and travelling to Kata (set movement) and shiai (competition fighting) competitions. The support offered helps out with travelling costs especially when flights and hire vehicles are required. The club are very thankful to Alan Griffin and the team at Warrenpoint, Burren, Rostrevor Credit Union for a number of years now and hope to continue their relationship.
In the next few days Shinken Shobu Ryu Judo club will have a grading within the club allowing their students to show their skills to move up the belt system. This not only allows the coaching team to see the progress of the students but gives the students a sence of achievement by earning their next belt.
