Yamaguchi Goju Kai Competition

On Sunday 20th February, two Yudansha squad members and their team of coaches and family, headed off to the Yamaguchi Goju Kai tournament in Grays, Essex. 

This competition was a junior kumite only tournament, and both kumite fighters; Tyrone Briscoe and Gina Boot were able to represent the club at this event. Gina made her debut for the first time at this competition, entering the girls 3^rd kyu above + 40Kg division against some very talented kumite fighters. 

Despite the long wait the pair stayed focused and by 3pm they were on the mat.

The Kaizen Ryu National Squad was formed in October 2006. It's squad members train regularly on top of their regular training schedule and have come on a long way since then.

They have competed at Club, National and International Level. From Crystal Palace, to Kent, Essex, Aylesbury, Manchester, Germany and even to Japan.

Their efforts and passion for the sport in and out of the competition arena has recently been getting noticed by top people and getting results at top level. Incredible achievements from young people who are rapidly becoming positive role models in their communities.
