NEIL ADAMS 8th Dan Judo Course
2 x Olympic Silver medallist, World and European Judo Champion
February 15th 2009
Young Judo Club, Swale Martial Arts Club, East Street Sittingbourne Kent
The Young Judo Club invited Neil Adams 8th Dan down to their Dojo to give instruction to its members; the Dojo had only enough room for 30 Judoka so the course was filled several weeks ago. Neil was asked to teach his famous Tia Otoshi and Ko Uchi Gari and this took up the first session. The second session concentrated on Armlocks and art form practically lost in modern day Judo but the reason the YJC wanted to learn Armlocks techniques from the world greatest exponent was because a lot of the Judo players are also International SAMBO players an in that sport more time is allowed to implement the technique. At the end of the session John Clarke 4th Dan stepped out and said that his 30 years of Judo it was first time he enjoyed a Ne Waza ( Ground work ) session
YJC President Martin Clarke 8th Dan opened the course stating that he had been privileged to have trained with some of the UK best Judo players in the History of the sport while in he in the National and Olympic Judo Squad but the best of the best was Neil Adams who he rated not only the best Judoka that GB has ever had but one of the best the World has ever seen. After the course had finished everyone agreed with him.
