If you want to know what's going on at the club, including future competition and grading dates, then this is the place to be.

Throughout the year our club members take part in local and national competitions and gradings. When members of our club achieve success (which happens very frequently) we like to shout about it!

Here is a running list, most recent first, of the various achievements throughout the year, plus cuttings that have appeared in local papers and national magazines.

Les (in white) entered the veterans in under 90 kilos, and Giorgi in blue entered the mens in the over 100 kilos at the Salisbury open comp on Sunday 17th July 2011, both winning well earned gold medals. A double whammy for Eastleigh judokwai!!

Mick and Lins were both there to offer support. Senior coach Mick was very pleased with both Giorgi and Les as they both fought very well and did the club proud! A great achievement for them both.

Another great Day for Sophie who fought her way forward to win a silver in the southern area comp at k2 crawley in June 2011.

Sophie has only just started competing in competitions outside the club. Don't be fooled by Sophie's timid demeanour in this photo!! She is very motivated and is already earning a reputation for getting what she wants on the mat!

A great day for her, and Mick and Lins are very proud to see how well she has stepped up to the mark in competition!

Samuel and Sophie took centre stage at the samurai Judo comp in March 2011, both taking well earned gold medals to further enhance Eastleigh Judokwai's reputation for skill based coaching. It was Samuels first comp as he is only 5years of age, which was a great achievement. Both Sophie and Samuel did an amazing job on on the day and all the coaches are very proud of them!

Martin Burton under 100kilos went to High Wycombe Masters comp in March 2011 and won all his contest's to come away with the gold medal, beating more experienced and higher graded players in the process.

This was a proud day for Martin and Mick was there to lend support and offer his congratulations :-)

George took part in the Salisbury open on Sunday the 7th of June 2009, and after some epic battles managed to clinch a well deserved and hard fought silver medal in the over 100 kg senior competition.

George fought extremely well and coach Mick was very pleased with his performance.

New for 2009 - Videos of our players at this years major tournaments. Lets start with Aaron at the Hampshire Closed!

Eastleigh Judokwai players performed superbly again, this time in the Hampshire Closed Championships. Aaron took the gold medal in the under 30s comp and did really well on the day, beating his rival and fellow club mate Jake Fay. Jake took silver in the same event and Katy took silver in the girls under 27kilos weight group. Lasha did well in his first competition as a senior and took silver in the under 66kilos.

Another blistering performance from the Eastleigh Judoka, this time at the 2008 Hampshire Open in Portsmouth. Some fine performances were put in, not least from our very own club coach Lindsey who fought her way to a superb Gold in the +78 category.

Not to be outdone by the coach, Jake was awesome in his u27kg final to gain Gold, Katy picked up a well deserved u25kg silver, with Kelly in the u32kg and Aaron in the u27kg both bringing home a well fought bronze apiece. In the seniors, our only male competitor this year saw Patrick blast his way to a u100kg bronze with some fine aggressive judo.

Well done to all. Apologies for the picture quality - Mick may be a great Head Coach but he needs a little more practice with the camera phone!

Eastleigh Judokwai's finest fought their way to medals at the Hampshire yellow belt and under competition this year.

The medal winners pictured left to right Kelly Lastres u32kg gold, Sophie Van den Broek u28kg bronze, and Aaron Cooke u27kg silver. Cameron and Stefan (not pictured) fought u42kg and met one another in the finals, with Cameron taking gold and Stefan silver.

It was a great day's Judo for Eastleigh Judokwai and coach Lindsay was really pleased with their standard of judo.

There must be something about the Mountbatten Centre that brings out the best in our players!

The under 27kg category saw both Katie Riggs and Jake Fay come away with well earned Silver Medals, with both players putting in some fine performances to reach the finals.

Mick & Lindsay are justly proud of their students and we all look forward to seeing Katie, Jake and all the other Eastleigh Judokwai students fighting for grades this coming Sunday!

With kind permission from his parents, we have an excellent video clip of Jake in action - click the image on the left.

Mick and Lindsay took a strong trio of players to the Hampshire Closed Championships in March. So strong that each came away with a medal!

Lasha (left in picture) won gold in the under 63 kg weight category. Ellie (centre) took a well fought bronze in her category with some fine tactical Judo, and coach Lindsay won a superb gold in the ladies +78kilos.

It was an excellent day for the Eastleigh Judokwai, with a proud Mick Russell looking on to cheer his players.

Some of our young judo players took part in the Hampshire Closed Yellow Belt and Under competition in May. Both Mike and Lindsey were on hand to offer last minute advice and coaching, and some excellent results were achieved. Here are some photo's taken on the day of our medal winning students.

We also have some video footage kindly taken by one of the parents. Click the thumbnails below to view. These videos are 1mb each, so if you're still on dial-up then please be patient!
