Competiton
Historically New Star,
(and particularly Patchway) has been a very competitive club, with
John Bath having coached in excess of 30 British National medallists.
We encourage players to enter competitions if they wish to, but
we fully accept that many players are recreational players only
and there is no pressure for anyone to fight in a competition.
Thanks to the experience of John's 30+ years of coaching
(with admirable assistance from Luke, who has been one of
John’s players since he was 8 years old) we have many
young players who will soon be following in the footsteps
of our National Medalists!
Our most recent
National successes 2009 British Meddallists, Kieran Peacock,
Bronze & 2008 British Medallists, Rebecca & Natasha
Maslen and Sam Finn.
Sam being the 2008
British Boys Champion and Rebecca & Natasha 2008 British
campionship bronze medallists.
All now have been
selected for the 2008/2009 England squad; second time for
Natasha and Rebecca.
Well done &
Good Luck to them. |
Kieran's
story..........
Kieran started Judo
after being dragged along by his twin brother Reece. Both
boys were soon training twice a week and entering competitions.
Kieran was awarded player of the year in 2007 and Most Improved
2006. Kieran has had a fantastic 2009, winning bronze medals
at Kent International, West of England Open and then the Britsh
Champions! Kieran is following in Sam's footsteps and has
received his letter inviting him to be in the England squad.
Paving the way for future Patchway players to follow in their
footsteps!
Sam's
story..........it could be you!
 Sam decided
he wanted to take up judo in October 1999, after watching
a display by Patchway judo club at a local leisure centre.
During the 2000
Summer Olympics, at the ripe old age of 5, he annouced he
wanted to be at the Olympics when he was bigger!
Sam gives 100%
to his judo, training 4 times a week from quite a young age.
Sam won many
medals in lots of differernt competitions, starting with the
local inter clubs (his first interclub was at home at Patchway
Feb'03 where he won gold!- see photo)
and progressing
to Opens and the Western Area closed where he was the silver
medallist.
Then in 2005
he won his first National medal, a bronze! He was so proud;
it was presented to him by World Champion, Craig Fallon. In
2006 he narrowly missed out on the gold, winning silver.
In 2008
he is the Boys u46kg British Champion!

at the Heart of England and Natasha was 5th at the Nationals
(which has points). |

BJA
Junior Mon grade record
JUNIOR
GRADING SYLLABUS From April 2008
The Mon Grading
System
Players from age
7½ years upwards follow the BJA mon grading scheme.
From 1st Aprl 2008 Novice to 18th mon are theory grades, these
can be gained “in house” and tests are carried
out by the coaching team.
- Red belt: Novice, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Mon.
- Yellow belt: 4th, 5th & 6th Mon.
- Orange belt: 7th, 8th & 9th Mon.
- Green belt: 10th, 11th & 12th Mon.
- Blue belt: 13th, 14th & 15th Mon.
- Brown belts: 16th, 17th & 18th Mon.
A player must be
at least 15½ years before they can begin to fight for
points for their black belt. Points can be gained at either
gradings or “point scoring” competitions. For
every Ippon win a player receives 10 points, depending on
their age, depends on the number of points needed. Alternatively
they can face a “line up”, this is where they
fight 4 people consecutively, if they win all their fights
they are awarded their black belt, 1st Dan. The process repeats
through to 5th Dan.
Red & White
belts 6th Dan to 9th Dan, these are awarded for services to
judo.
10th is the highest, it is a white
knotted belt, showing the full circle from the beginner belt
through to the highest grade (this grade is very rare). |
