Sobell Judo Club London

The Sobell Judo Club Area Competition, on Sunday, 28th March, proved to be an outstanding success with all children demonstrating 'Ippon Judo'. There was some spectacular throws which saw many children winning medals.
The Sobell judo club was supported by all its members and its senior team of officials helped this event to be very successful and rewarding to all the participants. A truly enjoyable day!

Gold medals went to:
Kian Williams, Sampson Sampson, Eddie Harris, Noah Brittan, Benedict Sangola and Ewan Sutherland.

Silver medals went to:
Alex Charalambous, Deborah Sangloa, Ayman Eljacifi, Oscar Harris, Johnathan Wele and Tiago Pontes-Betu.

Members of the club, family and friends  joined for a social evening, which the club likes to organise on a regular basis. This time at a Greek restaurant, 'Vrisaki', on Saturday 27 March, 2010, to celebrate Elena Charalambous' 1st Dan success.

Good company, good food, drink and music makes a perfect recipe for success and a warm social gathering with all our competitors.

The Sobell Nage-No-Kata course was held on Sunday, February 8, at Sobell Judo Club. It was the first of such courses planned for this year that was open to all judoka in the area.

The 5 hour session proved to be a very enjoyable and stimulating experience for all. About 20 attended the course, which made it an excellent response.

We hope to capitalise on this by running further Kata courses later in the year, so watch this space.

Thank you to everyone who took time to attend.

SAMPSON SAMPSON,
British Judo Council Rokudan 

IN 2002 Sampson Sampson became the youngest man ever to wrap a British Judo Council red and white belt round his middle. Yet the accolade was, according to the man himself, late. Sampson had gained his black belt in 1975 as a 15 year old by the time he turned 17 he was already a 3rd dan.
