GREAT NEWS FOR IBF/BCSA
I have just had another new club join us Deal Bushido Judo
Club, this a very old established club headed by Mick Davies 4th Dan.
I have known Mick for over 40 years my brother Norman and I used to compete
against on a regular basis,. He has a very impressive record winning National
medals in nearly every Judo association in GB plus representing many of them on
an International basis as well as being a BJA Veteran Champions in 1986 and
1996. He has a high level of Coaching skills being a BJA National Self Defence
Coach plus a level 3 Judo Coach. He will be a great asset to the IBF/BCSA. He
brought with him Wesley Cousens 3rd Dan who has been a Sombo
International and World Judo Master’s Silver Medallist.
Generally things are on the rise for us, so much so I can
announce now that we will be going back to the Swallows Leisure for a
tournament the first in many years. On March 3rd Sunday we will be
organising the All England Open Senior Sombo Championships for Men and Women a BSF
Division 1 competition and points scoring event, plus we will running an under
16 Junior Boys and Girls events on two mats. The Sombo event will be for BSF
and FIAS members and the Judo event will be open to all associations. This will
be the first of many Judo events for 2013 Faversham, Bedford and Scotland will
be all running Judo events, plus we have MMA events, Sombo, CombatSombo
Wrestling, Combat Sambo and Shiai Jutsu events as well.
Yes Shiai Jutsu I have the renowned Tough Man Trevor Roberts
re-joining the IBF to take over and reintroducing Shiai Jutsu plus Leading
Kurash Man Steve Sweetlove 6th Dan Judo is in the process of
renewing license. Membership is back on the rise the first time in 4 years even
with Clubs we lost many last year due to closure but the have been replaced
with new club from various different Combat Disciplines. Sadly although we have
a lot of individual members in Scotland we no longer have any registered clubs
but on the whole everything going great. Nice to able to spread good news
