Sampson Sampson Chief Instructor 6th dan

altThe Sobell Judo Club has been established for over 38 years and we are proud to say that one of the first students to attend back in 1974 was a 14 year old boy called Sampson Sampson.

Sampson took up judo at the age of 14 and by the time he turned 15 he  was promoted to Senior black belt, such was his  phenomenal ability that by the time he turned  16 years of age  he was promoted to3rd Dan black belt; this was an outstanding achievement in such a short space of time. As far as we are aware, Sampson holds the world record for the youngest 3rd Dan. He is the proud holder of over 300 gold medals, winning numerous Judo competitions at national and international level. His unrivalled technical knowledge and mastery of judo,it's dynamics and logic is matched only by his agility, speed and phisical ability on the mat. He has earned the nickname The Greek Samurai! In 2005 Sampson was finally grade of 6th dan red and white belt  after many years of fighting and resisting the many political and beurocracy 's in judo. 6th dan is a very high grade which is respected highly all over the world.  At 44 years old  Sampson was still one of the youngest 6th dans in the country  Today even though he is ove 50 he still fights at the highest level and still outperforms much younger and high performanced  judoka. .

Judo History

E-mail Print

Judo is a dynamic full contact activity; its origins are from the Japanese martial arts. Although Judo was founded in the late 1800’s by a man called Jigaro Kano, Judo skills date back to the period of 1600, the Bushido period which was the time of the Samurai (Japanese Warrior).

The Samurai would often use a large variety of judo techniques in unarmed combat which involved techniques such as throwing, sweeping, hooking, tripping as well as arm-locks, strangles, choking, kicking and punching. The above fighting form was given the name ‘Ju-Jitsu’.
