Thurrock’s
under 13’s have Judo training
Thursday evening the under 13’s team traded a rugby
session for a Judo session at J.S.C. Judo Club Purfleet. J.S.C. Judo was
founded in 1989 by John and Sharon Cottis and has produced some of the best in
Great Britain also national and international champions.
Over the years J.S.C. Judo has produced Olympians,
World and European medallists such as Peter Cousins, Thomas Cousins, Vicki Dunn
and Cheryle Peel the list goes on not to mention numerous national junior and
senior medallists. Not only producing future stars in this field they also give
advice and techniques to help Rugby clubs/ players improve their game in
methods and fitness.J.S.C. Judo gives advice and training not only to local
teams but have links to Bath RFC also.
Thurrock’s under 13’s were put through their paces
and it was a big eye opener in fitness levels in the team and discipline. The
boys were welcomed to a friendly environment and settled into the training with
great enthusiasm and a willing to learn something new that they could use on
the field (legally).
The boys were given tips on how to grapple and hold
on properly, how to bring someone to the ground more effectively and to fall
without hurting yourself and most importantly a lesson in fitness and doing the
best they can to their abilities.
The team benefited from it greatly and I’m sure
there will be more sessions to come. Wouldn’t be a bad thing for our other
teams, all age groups to give it a go as they train kids from 5 to adults.
If you’re a coach that is interested in including
some extra skills in your team or a player that could do with bigger bag of
tricks and improve your fitness give J.S.C Judo a visit and see for yourself.
Here’s how you can find them:
